He always imagined himself as an artist since learning to draw from his mother and Hurricane Ike in 2008 brought a new opportunity. The City of Galveston hired Mr. Phillips to began carving some of the damaged trees and this launched into opportunities to carve trees across the state. The City of League City recently hired Mr. Phillips to carve two diseased century-old oak trees that had to be cut from Historic League Park.
