.After graduating from Kalamazoo College in Michigan, Phil started his professional career as a sales engineer for a steam turbine parts manufacturing company. He left that industry and spent the next 12 years in the mortgage business, a good deal of that owning a mortgage broker firm. The challenges he faced as a small business owner gave him great insight and a unique ability to assist business owners. After a merger he worked in the PEO (Professional Employer Organization) sector, eventually making his way into Commercial Insurance, specializing in Private Security Guard insurance, which is where he has remained for the past 12 years. By focusing exclusively on private security he has been able to form valuable relationships with the Managing Firms and Carriers who insure this highly specialized risk. With his singular focus comes the ability to assist his clients with risk management/mitigation strategies tailored specifically to this challenging field.
