Five Minutes With:
James Allen

James Allen
Owner, Search Paladin Digital Marketing & SEO

Suburb: Kirwan.

AKA: Jamie.

I’m renowned for: My passion and competitiveness with most things – playing sport, computer gaming and of course supporting the Cowboys. I’m also the first point of call for IT support in my family.

Only a local would know… the current Cowboys Stadium was originally a horse racing trots track and the training facilities building was the stable!

My most memorable holiday was… travelling around the world with my wife Maria for seven months. We had the good fortune of visiting the US, Canada (in the chilly winter!), Austria, Spain, spent time with family in Croatia and Italy, and had amazing and eye opening experiences in India, Nepal and Japan.

Right now I wish I was… doing what I am doing – enjoying the North Queensland weather, lifestyle and helping people through my business.

My favourite day is: Monday. I’m super energised at the start of the week. It reminds me of all the opportunities ahead.

The biggest influence in my life is: My wife Maria. She has always encouraged
 me to follow my dreams and to step out of my comfort zone. She inspires me by the way she has pursued her dreams and how she runs her yoga studio, Arc Yoga.

The funniest thing that ever happened to me was… many things, usually painful. One time, for instance, I was with mates rope swinging into the Ross River. I decided to attempt a triple rotation and ended up slapping my head on the water and busting my ear drum!

Someone famous I met was: Cathy Freeman when I was competing at a junior athletics carnival in Brisbane.

My motto is: Things aren’t always what they seem. Assume the best in people.
