Phil Walls
Phil brings 20 years of experience in packaging and crating, as well as a decade of hazardous materials compliance and logistics. His early career started in construction as a carpenter, eventually running his own contracting company specializing in UL fire testing for the gypsum industry in Northbrook, IL. From there, he moved into packaging and crating/Hazmat compliance with Labelmaster/DGM, where he took over as Customer Operations Manager. It was during his time with DGM that he formed a relationship with an international consulting firm, Quicksilver Group International, who was involved in disaster recovery. He went to work for them in late 2014 as Operations Manager: Liberia, where he was called to assist in the International Ebola Virus Disease Response in West Africa. The 13 months spent there was a learning experience not to be forgotten. Most recently, Phil worked for FireTrace International, the leading automated fire suppression company, as Material Services Manager. In this role he was responsible for roughly 11M USD in inventory, as well as outgoing international logistics and Customer Service Operations.
Phil enjoys cooking and gardening at his home in Surprise, with his wife Athena, and children James and Elizabeth.
