Name: Phil
Position at Lifetime Products: Communications Director. I guess you could call me the "great communicator" of the company, and we try to do a lot of that around here. I manage all corporate communications, including internal and external communications, community relations, copywriting (all the writing on our labels - that's mine!), public relations, advertising, and - of course - all internet strategies. Katie and I work together. We also went to the same university (10 years apart!).
How long at Lifetime Products: I've been with Lifetime since September 2003.
Topics I blog about: How-to's, inspirational activities, yard projects, family get-togethers, corporate fluff, new products, exciting and interesting stories, music (but, Katie won't let me write about music on this blog).
My favorite Lifetime Products: Outdoor shed,basketball hoops, 6-foot table, picnic table, personal table
On a Saturday afternoon you can find me: Working on the latest incarnation of the "honey-do" list! I work in the yard most of the time, but I do like to fall asleep in front of a golf tournament or NASCAR race. I also spend plenty of time with my three lovely girls (wife, two daughters). Regardless of what I'm doing outside, I probably have my headphones in, listening to my music.
My favorite escape: I spend a lot of time tending to my music collection, I am an avid reader, big-time news junkie and I love to cook. I'm a MUCH better cook than my wife, so I can usually impress her with one of my "a little of this and that" recipes. I play competitive softball, I enjoy golfing with my wife (seriously...), playing board games with my closest friends and watching my two little girls grow up at a blistering pace. I'm also a huge NFL and NASCAR fan.
