Hi, my name is Phil. I was born and raised in Los Angeles and have since lived in Oregon, Alaska, and Washington. For the last two decades and more Washington state has been home. I attended Cornell University’s School of Labor & Industry, as well as the DDI Executive Leadership Program.

I enjoy my job with our company for a variety of reasons. Perhaps most importantly, I enjoy my job because of the people I work with. In my personal and professional life, I value loyalty above all else. I have the privilege of working with a team of people who go above and beyond to empower me to help our clients to the very best of my abilities.

I feel as though my compilation of experience affords me the ability to provide quality support to our clients. Additionally, my experiences drive me to continually improve upon the level of quality information and support imparted during each client interaction, which in turn increases the successfulness of our students.

I look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your financial goals. Whether you’re wondering how you’ll pay for college, looking forward to your retirement, or just trying to grow your wealth – we have the tools to get you there!

Here at Grossman and Associates, I get to do what I love for a living – help others! Helping others has always been paramount for me. The fact that I can help our clients attain their dreams and sometimes even push past their goals, brings me immense joy.

Let us help you wade through the nightmare of paying for college and saving your retirement. While we’re helping you, we’ll also work with your kids through college preparation and admissions. The success of your entire family is our goal.

As a counselor, I was the Running Start Coordinator and gained expertise in college preparation, selection, application procedures and scholarships. I pride myself on being a “student-centered” counselor and find helping students very rewarding.

I find it truly rewarding to help students discover their college and career goals and make it a priority to get to know each student’s strengths and interests. I hope to have the opportunity to work with your student(s) as they maneuver through the sometimes overwhelming process of post-secondary planning.

Being able to work with students in a manner that I am accustomed to is very rewarding. However, I have also enjoyed the opportunity to work with the rest of the family as well. You may not have all of the answers at first, but our team prides itself on being a reliable resource for college preparation and decision making.

The best part about working with my students is discovering things alongside them. I love helping them discover their strengths, interests, and passions. Helping your student towards success is what I am here to do.
