Paul M. Phillips

Job Titles:
  • Office Manager
  • Senior Project Consultant
Paul shares that the most gratifying part of his role at JSD (outside of getting paid) is solving site grading and stormwater challenges and getting projects approved! His college professor once said, "work smarter, not harder" and Paul said that unfortunately he seemed to NOT have learned that particular college lesson. But if he could have any job in the world and didn't have to be concerned about income, he would love to help non-profits with development projects, and following closely behind that is mowing grass at a golf course as well as traveling the country and visiting campgrounds to write reviews for RV World.
