His strengths include training and consulting in sales process, sales skills, and sales acceleration, along with team leadership, performance coaching, and team conflict mitigation.

His recent partnership in TAB Northern Colorado will allow him to bring his passion and experience to serve business owners of Boulder County and Northern Colorado.

From 2010 to early 2014, Phil led business development for Novo Energy and Oilfield Distributing, where he helped develop energy projects and managed equipment and professional service sales throughout their US and international markets.
