As a second-generation owner of Weldy Sales and Service, Phil and his wife Dale raised a family and ran the business for over 30 years, serving their community and building friendships along the way…one chainsaw at a time. In this episode, we talk about what it was like to move to Buchanan in middle school and grow up as a farm kid learning the value of hard work and getting the job done. We discuss his initial career path of youth ministry and how he and Dale eventually found their way back to Buchanan to take over his father’s business while playing a large role in the youth group of their home church. We also talk about raising four girls and their favorite job, being grandparents. His application of the Golden Rule in both life and business allowed him to build lasting relationships and loyal customers.
