Wendell T. Phillips Jr.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Founder & President<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Wendell T. Phillips Jr. comes from an entrepreneurial family and always desired to own his own business. After graduating summa cum laude from Babson College with a Bachelor of Science in Business Management, he intended to pursue his dreams. However, he struggled with his mental health dealing with OCD, anxiety, and depression. Incapable of bearing the responsibilities of a business owner, he relegated himself to the role of an employee, working at Fidelity Investments administering pension benefits. He later served as Town Accountant for Milford, MA managing an annual budget of just under $100 million and overseeing various large projects such as the $63 million construction of a new school. While achieving success in these positions, Wendell felt disheartened as he was not acting on his true ambitions and was privately struggling with OCD. There were times when OCD controlled his daily life, and he doubted whether he would ever lead a normal life. With the help of his parents, counseling, and by forcing himself to continuously face his fears, he began to improve. His fight helped him develop commitment and confidence while also serving to put business struggles into perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After losing 8 years of his life to OCD, Wendell overcame these adversities and became a better person and a better businessman. OCD taught him the importance of a positive mindset and made him develop a never-quit attitude. Regretting that he was forced to postpone his life and dreams, he was determined to stop wasting his time and his talent and to make the most of the next 8 years. Refocused on his goals, he founded Phillips Luxury Homes Corporation and began building luxury homes. While successful, growth was slower than he would have liked, and he desired to make a bigger impact. Time being his most valuable resource and not willing to waste any more of it, Wendell decided to acquire existing business, believing it would provide the best path to fulfilling his dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by the impact of business titans like Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, and Cornelius Vanderbilt, Wendell desires to build his own legacy and make a positive impact. He derives great satisfaction from improving the lives of others. To assist with these goals, he built a premier board of directors including top executives from Fortune 500 companies. Together they have a combined 150 years of business experience. Most importantly, Wendell\u2019s team is comprised of good people who share his vision. What separates Phillips Companies is the quality of their team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
