With a strong foundation in leadership honed during his 11 years as a Marine Corps Captain and Naval Flight Instructor, Phil brings a disciplined yet innovative approach to construction management.


After earning his BA in Geology from the University of Texas at Arlington, Phil embarked on a career in aviation, serving as a KC-130 Aircraft Commander and later as a First Officer with United Airlines.

His innovative build-then-install approach reduces customer project timelines, ensuring efficient and seamless delivery.


Outside of work, Phil enjoys outdoor recreation, including hiking, river running, and traveling, often accompanied by his three young adult children. These experiences fuel his passion for creating outdoor spaces that enhance clients’ lives.
