Senior Vice President
Since joining Stephens Private Client Group in 2014, Phillip focuses his practice on the holistic financial picture, giving careful consideration to clients’ financial goals, risk tolerances and personal motivations. Phillip says, “This is an interesting time for financial consultants as multiple generations are seeking guidance for their varied investment needs. In each client relationship, accessibility is key. I take pride in working closely with clients to assist them in reaching their financial aspirations and providing sound advice on a multitude of decisions that directly impact their futures.”
