“My accomplishments are just a reflection of our exceptional team of customer-driven, skilled individuals who design, manufacture, and service the world’s top luxury motorcoaches under visionary leadership,” Phil remarks. “Without their commitment and expertise, these achievements would not be possible. As the premier name in high-end luxury motorcoaches, Newell Coach is unique in its class, built entirely from the ground up and 100% made in the USA. It’s a privilege to be a part of this winning team! I’m especially thankful for our loyal and ever expanding customer base who make all of this possible”.
Phil began his career in 1987 with Texas-based Foretravel, Inc., a premier manufacturer of high-end Class A motorhomes at that time. After achieving Master Sales Guild status, he was recruited by Marathon Coach, Inc. in 1994, the world’s largest luxury Prevost bus conversion company. Within three years, he rose to national sales leader, eventually selling over 500 coaches totaling more than $300 million. His tenure at Marathon earned him the title of cumulative sales leader from 1998 to 2011.
Recognized as a notable and trusted figure within the luxury motorcoach community, Phil accepted an invitation to join Newell Coach Corporation and became part of Team Newell on January 1, 2012. Since then, he has maintained his dominant position in the industry, serving as the company’s top producer spanning the last decade.
