About UsAbout Us: The Founders The company founders, Phil Roberson, Jr., Jimmie Roberson, & Philip Roberson, Sr., of Nashville, Tennessee, have created a site that reflects their sense of humor, creativity, and unique view of the nose. In 2000, Phil Roberson, Jr. joined BBOnline.Com as VP of Operations. The company was started by his neighbor, Randy Fought. Phil helped to organize internal operations, manage staff, provide input, and served as Randy's right-hand man. They grew the site until it was sold in early 2006 to Internet Brands, of Los Angeles, California. The sale allowed Phil the opportunity to begin considering how we should develop All-About-Noses.com as well as how to turn a hobby site he had created, MEATandTHREE.com, into the internet's first and only online directory devoted exclusively to meat and three restaurants, cafes, and diners. He also started i-10 Group, the exclusive internet distributor for Immacu-10 all-purpose cleaner and stain remover. In early 2008, Phil began another small business, SpotOnWebSites.com, a web design company devoted to help small businesses build a web presence. Philip Roberson, Sr., is currently a USPS Rural Carrier in Brentwood, Tennessee, and brings a diversity of talents and a wealth of humor and creativity to the site. Jimmie Roberson, The Internet Grandma, is also an aspiring artist who is retired from the United States Postal Service. She brings her creative talent, inquisitive mind, life experiences, and ability to visualize what something can be instead of what it is.
How it all began The web site's beginning came about October 1, 2005 when Phil came over to our home (his parents) to enjoy an afternoon of football on television, specifically, the ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE. At some point in the game while we were joking, laughing and casually talking Phil asked a question. We cannot remember the question – it still escapes us. Well, a light bulb went off in my head, I looked at Phil and said that sounds like a web site to me and we were off. We had so much fun exploring the possibilities of a nose web site, almost rolling in the floor with laughter at times, Phil's father cracking all his nose jokes, and me, Jimmie (Phil's mom) writing endless pages of notes. The game over, we still hadn't nailed down the perfect name and Phil had to leave. As soon as I waved goodbye and walked into my kitchen, the name (the perfect name for our concept) just came into my mind – All-About-Noses. I grabbed the phone and called him on his cell phone and he agreed it was the right name. I registered All-About-Noses that night. We continued to email back and forth for several days whenever we would think of something new about noses. We still brainstorm and come up with new info - only these days, we like to include Christopher, Phil's 13 year old son and our grandson. He's truly inherited some of our genes - recently we brainstormed for over two hours about the nose-he came up with many new ideas we hadn't thought of previously - one good word -noseaphobia. Ok, now that you know a little more about us, just call us weird, but we had fun. We truly hope you'll be amused and entertained at All-About-Noses.com. I knew that day, October 1, 2005, that it was inspired – a gift from God just handed to us – a gift that fit our wacky sense of humor perfectly. But that's another story and I promise I'll tell you about it one day.
