Mom's House Investor Home Study Course

As a St. Louis native, Phillip’s passion is Cardinals baseball and Blues hockey. When he’s not watching sports or with his family, he’s investing in real estate. While he started as a home builder and developer, he quickly transitioned to investing in real estate full time.

Phillip has been investing in real estate for over 22 years. He has bought hundreds of houses and has a passion for working with families; his sellers love him! There isn’t much he hasn’t seen, so creativity and care are his go-to when it comes to buying houses and helping families solve some of their biggest problems. He is an entrepreneur and is always excited to support new projects and learn new things, like building out a nationwide network of Mom’s House Real Estate Investors.

Phillips has two young sons, Drake and Sterling, and a super wife, Melissa, who’s all he could have ever dreamed of. (Well, except maybe his lifelong dream to one day buy the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team.) He is an avid tennis player and also loves playing hockey with his two boys. Phillip volunteers for multiple charities, including Brace for IMPACT 46, an organization that supports youth programming in both St. Louis and Haiti, and Special Spaces, which builds custom rooms for terminally ill children suffering from cancer.
