Having now been a mentor, investor, and a board member I have been truly impressed with the students every year. The confidence this builds in the students is truly remarkable. Within the first month or two of the year they are very comfortable speaking with business owners in the community, something that I know I, as a high school senior, was definitely not as confident in or comfortable with. This skill and confidence alone gives the students the ability to propel themselves into their futures, whether that be directly into Entrepreneurship, college, or something else.

In 2015, Josh McDermott assumed ownership of the Belleville-based home remodeling company his father started more than 25 years ago after serving as its business manager.

During his tenure, Josh has worked quickly to modernize and formalize work practices and policies to make the company more efficient with the goal of providing a high quality experience to the customer. Those techniques included introducing an online forum for the company and client to communicate, share photos and update schedules. Another was offering third-party online surveying of customers to identify company strengths and weaknesses. Finally, Josh launched a digital online marketing program to assist in enhancing the company’s online presence in targeted markets on both sides of the river.

Josh is proud to continue the tradition started by his father of nurturing a family-centered culture within the company. In fact, J.T. McDermott boasts two employees who have been there since the company began.

Another tradition is the company’s deep involvement within the community. J.T. McDermott supports myriad local groups, organizations, events and causes.

“Entrepreneurs are the lifeblood of any community because of the new businesses, jobs and economic opportunity they create for that community. And since Belleville needs new businesses, Belleville needs new entrepreneurs. That is why Belleville’s new CEO program is so very important. Its purpose is to give high school students a peek at what entrepreneurship is all about—because the more that students understand what entrepreneurship is, the more students will choose to be entrepreneurs. I am excited to be a part of Belleville’s new CEO program because it represents the future of what Belleville can be.”

Jim Allsup founded Allsup in 1984 as the first nationwide, non-attorney Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) representation provider.

Allsup and its affiliates are innovators of specialized services and technologies that help meet the financial and healthcare needs of American with disabilities. The company is the premier provider of Social Security disability, veterans disability appeal, exchange plan and Medicare services for individuals, employers and insurance carriers. His company has helped more than 250,000 people receive $21 billion in SSDI payments and Medicare benefits.

I am very enthused to be part of the CEO program that gives students exposure to careers that they did not even know existed prior to taking the course. It also teaches some basic business skills that will be useful in any entrepreneurial project or job that the students pursue. The value of CEO is clear when almost every graduate of the course says that it was the most important class that they took in four years of high school.

I am very pleased to be a part of Belleville CEO. The ability to experience the entrepreneurial spirit of our community's students is a priceless opportunity. I am certain that the experience offered by Belleville CEO will positively impact not only our immediate community, but society as a whole for decades to come. I look forward to watching this program grow and expand in unimaginable ways.
