Colleagues describe him as "I had the pleasure of working with Phil when my organization engaged the John C. Stennis Institute of Government to conduct an economic impact study on reducing wind pool insurance rates in Mississippi. Phil served as the point man for Stennis during the course of the project and he was an excellent facilitator. The paper, which was published in 2009 and is availalbe on the Gulf Coast Business Council website, is part of a very important solution to the high insurance costs that have plagued the Mississippi Gulf Coast since Katrina. I look forward to doing business with Phil again in the future." and "I've attended the week long State Executive Development Institute (SEDI) and attended a number of other programs coordinated by Phil. I find him to be very dedicated, personable and intelligent- perhaps his greatest asset is his thirst for knowledge surrounding anything political - especially applying technology and social networking. I really appreciate how he shares what he learns through his blog and have been impressed at his loyal friends!"
