Originally hired in 1994 as a Construction Supervisor, Phil has served in a number of positions at PSHH, before serving in his current role as a Construction Site Superintendent. In this position, Phil expertly manages the construction of homes for self-help owner-builders from start to finish.

“After working with families for a year or more, handing them the keys to their new homes is extremely rewarding,” said Phil, when asked about his experience working with owner-builders.
