Getting to Know - Phil Holmes

Last week, Ross Holden of The Home Depot Account in Monroe, OH was able to catch a ride with professional driver Phil Holmes.  Phil is a regional driver, hired back in April and resides in Miamisburg OH.  It was a great day, and both got the opportunity to learn more about each other and getting a better idea of what each goes through on a daily basis.  
 
 
Below is the write-up from Ross:
 
Phil has been driving for about 3 years. He began his professional career at Swift and has bounced around to multiple carriers before finding a comfortable home at JB Hunt. Phil mentioned he enjoys being able to get home every night and watch sports or play video games. He is an avid Philadelphia Eagles and Penn State Nittany Lions fan. Phil grew up in Philadelphia for most of his life. Phil’s mother moved him and his siblings to the Cincinnati area when Phil was in high school. He was an exceptional football player and received a scholarship to play at Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids, MI. Unfortunately, Phil suffered multiple knee injuries, preventing him from pursuing a lifelong dream of playing in the NFL. Phil wants to get back to school and earn a degree in Cyber Security, as this is one of his passions.
