Phil was able to relate very new and unknown material into real-life situations that fit the people in this training class. He was able to make the material funny/interesting which helped me, personally. It was definitely a great experience working with and training with him!

Phil is a legend. His character is second to none and the amount of knowledge he mas towards mortgage banking is amazing. I truly recommend him to any future MLO being hired by Rocket Mortgage.

Phil wasn't my trainer but there were multiple times he would speak to our class. Phil knows how to calm your nerves and keep you confident heading in to the test. He's a genuine guy and loves to make people laugh. A few times I would talk to Phil outside of my class and he would assure me that I was on the right track.

Phil was not my trainer but he did teach next to us. He was great and gave us a great motivation speech and I thank him for that.

The first thing that comes to mind with Phil is his ability to teach and explain new concepts to a large group. He made class fun and exciting, while at the same time making it almost effortless to understand the new information we were learning, all in a very short time. After the first week, I felt confident taking the test. The following two weeks were just practice and review for me.

Phil is a fantastic trainer! His previous experience on the banking floor has helped me understand situations that may occur better. Phil challenged us to dig deeper and really learn the concepts well. His teaching style was very positive. I feel very lucky to have had him as an instructor!

P.S. His jokes are usually funny too. Most can be classified as "Dad jokes"

Phil is an excellent trainer. He takes the time to go over things with you, but he doesn't just give you the answer. He wants to make sure that you have an actual understanding of the concepts instead of just repeating facts that you memorize. Phil would often answer a question with a question to make us think just a little deeper about what it is that we are asking.
