Some Say:  "Phil's a perfectionist, a walking library, creative with words, photography, desktop publishing and excel spreadsheets . . . and sometimes too quiet".  In each of Phil's former careers - as mechanical engineer, a sailor, a teacher, a journalist, photographer and homebuilder - he mastered the art of detail management.  He's been translating the skills he learned in those professions to real estate since 1987, adding his own special passion:  the determination to know the most, to be the best, to make each transaction better than the last.

PHIL'S UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE  is from Brown University, his Master's from Northeastern.  He worked 10 years as a machine designer and then as an assistant professor at Rhode Island Junior College.  Phil "discovered" Stuart's enticing waterways while on a year's cruise from Maine to the Virgin Islands in his Hinckley Bermuda 40 sailboat - and adventure that led to more sailing and a 6 year career in photo-journalism for the boating magazines.  He vowed to make beautiful Stuart his home when he returned from the Caribbean.  He did so, and in 1980 Phil designed and built a 2-story home in Stuart, and then became active in area real estate and property management.
