After college, Patrick returned to Logan County in 2002, just as the new airport on the West side of Bellefontaine was being opened and taught folks to fly from 2002-2004. In 2004, he joined the United States Air Force. After graduating from Euro-Nato Joint Jet Pilot Training in Wichita Falls, TX, he chose to fly the B-1B Bomber. He flew the B-1B from 2006-2009, including one combat tour over Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

Tyler Thompson, Director of Operations

Tyler was born and raised in Logan County and is a 2006 graduate from Indian Lake High School. Upon completion, Tyler enlisted into the United States Army in 2007 as a Military Police Officer. During his time with the Army, Tyler conducted Law Enforcement in Heidelberg, Germany and Fort Hood Texas, Personal Security Operations in Baghdad, Iraq, and a Joint Task Force Training Mission to Constanta, Romania to train and prepare their military for deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.

Upon Honorably Discharging from the Army in 2012, Tyler went back to school full-time for Business Management & Leadership while working in property management locally. Upon graduating with a Bachelor’s of Science degree from Franklin University in Columbus, he accepted a job with Amazon to launch a new state-of-the-art facility in Jacksonville, Florida.

After a successful building launch with Amazon, Tyler quickly realized that he’d missed his passion for small business, property management and the direct business relationship with customers. He returned in early 2017 to help grow our business and has far exceeded all our expectations. Tyler and his wife are part-owners of P. Allan Properties and a big reason for our continued success! Tyler recently proved his depth of knowledge by earning the Certified Apartment Manager credential from the National Apartment Association.

John K., Owner

My family lived in one of the rental properties for over 2 years. It was a great a place to live and we’ve never had a better rental experience. When we were ready to start house hunting, it was an easy decision to hire Tyler as our Realtor. He was knowledgeable, efficient, and would do anything for his clients. He helped us find our home, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with our experience. I would recommend using P. Allan Investment Realty to anyone!
