Phil has been a cornerstone of Sports Field Solutions (SFS) since 2016, starting as a Cultural Practices Specialist. A veteran in turfgrass management, Phil's journey in the industry commenced in 2006, accompanied by a Bachelor's Degree in Horticulture from Missouri State University.

Prior to his leadership role at SFS, Phil made significant contributions in the industry, serving as a Sports Turf Manager at every level of professional baseball. Gaining valuable experience in day to day maintenance and necessary cultural practices, Phil's experience then stretched into the Golf Course Maintenance and Sod Production Industries, respectively. Phil's career reached a pinnacle when he realized his childhood dream of being part of a Grounds Crew for a major league baseball team, the Red Sox.

What sets Phil apart is not just his technical proficiency but also his appreciation for the collaborative spirit of the industry. He loves that the industry is willing to provide their knowledge with no judgement. Phil currently serves on the board for the Texas Turfgrass Association, helping to give back to the industry that has given so much to him.

Originally from Jefferson City, Missouri, Phil's interests extend beyond the professional sphere. Whether enjoying a round of golf, caring for his yard, or spending time with his wife, Rebecca, his two daughters, and his Golden Retriever, Riggins, Phil embraces a well-rounded approach to life.

Phil not only brings a wealth of expertise in turfgrass management but also epitomizes the mission and values that define SFS.
