Phil became interested in law when he entered primary school, as he wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps, but he started playing sports when he enrolled in a high school, where he played football and tennis. After his matriculation in 1979, he enrolled at the University of Houston (the same as his brother), received his bachelor’s degree in 1983, and ventured into business.

Career as a businessman

Phil spent over 30 years in business before he and his brother founded their company Swift Response, LLC on February 28, 2011.

It currently employs over 100 people, led by Phil, the company’s CEO, and specializes in marketing products through TV commercials, internet advertising and direct sales, among others. Some of the products that the company sells are Flex Seal, Flex Tape and Flex Paste.

The company gained popularity mainly because Phil serves as a spokesperson and because he has appeared in almost all of its commercials, unlike his brother, who does not show his face on camera.

Phil’s ideas for commercials have made him famous on the internet, including cutting a boat in half and then attaching it back together with Flex Tape, or gluing rocks with Flex Glue to show how much weight he can handle. Popular YouTuber JonTron made a video about Flex Tape entitled “Waterproofing My Life With FLEX TAPE” which became a huge hit and remains his most viewed video to this day; as his fans asked for more, he created the sequel “Flex Tape II: The Flexening”, and invited Phil to star in it.

In 2013, Phil began sponsoring the JD Motorsports team competing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series – some of the drivers the company sponsored included Ross Chastain and Jeffrey Earnhardt. In 2017, Garrett Smithley crashed his car and Flex Tape was used to fix it.
