Paul Phillips
June 5, 2020 -
Mr. Phillips began his adventures in adulthood by enlisting in the U.S. Army shortly after graduating high school. While in uniform, young Mr. Phillips was stationed overseas in both Japan and Germany. Eventually, after attaining the rank of Staff Sergeant (where he first discovered a talent for inspiring people to success), he decided to rejoin civilian life and completed a bachelor’s program in Political Science at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). After spending a year abroad in a Mandarin Chinese language immersion course, Mr. Phillips returned to UTSA and finished a master’s program in International Relations.
This will be Mr. Phillips’ 5th year teaching math to young people, and he is very excited to continue doing so at Great Hearts Live Oak. Mr. Phillips is also a big fan of history and may reliably be expected to launch into an overly detailed description of the 6,523 occurrences that led to any particular noteworthy event. Finally, Mr. Phillips is an adherent to the old axiom of “Fit Body, Fit Mind”. Accordingly, he tries to maintain an active lifestyle by hiking, biking and otherwise maintaining a vigorous physical training regimen.
