Phil is the founder and co-owner of IC CARE and currently serves as the CFO of the organization. Born and raised in Bridgeport, Ohio, Phil attended the University of Akron after high school for his bachelor’s degree in Accounting. In addition to his role with IC CARE, he has an ownership stake in several other business ventures that are focused in a variety of service industries. Prior to opening and acquiring his own small businesses, Phil had over 15 years of financial accounting experience working in the retail, distribution and engineering industries with specific focus on human resources, financial systems, process re-engineering, internal controls and overall financial operations. He has served as a Financial Controller both domestically for a $25 million dollar government contracting firm and internationally for a $100 million dollar division of a billion dollar publicly trade retailer.

Phil’s past personal experience with his paternal grandmother is what prompted him to start the homecare organization. His grandmother was diagnosed with dementia in her 90(s). She had always been a strong, independent woman who raised a family while working full time as nurse in Wheeling, WV. She and her husband, Phil’s grandfather, played an enormous role in his upbringing as a child. Phil witnessed first-hand the emotional, physical and spiritual drain that his grandmother’s condition brought onto his father and uncle while they cared for their mother. His dad, uncle and their spouses all made sacrifices in their personal lives to care for this wonderful woman as she fought the disease. It became obvious to Phil that there was a way that he could start a company focused on caring for seniors to improve their quality of life later in life. This became the driving force behind IC CARE’s beginnings and its message is still the primary goal today.

Stephanie believes that she was born to be a caregiver. Her life has been nurturing others since her beginnings with caring for her baby dolls; to babysitting through her teens; to teaching dance and gymnastics in high school through college, working summer camps for burn victims, serving as a youth minister and church deacon; developing a child life program in a burn center; nursing patients in oncology and women’s services departments; and her greatest caregiving accomplishment – being a mother to 3 amazing boys.

Educationally, Stephanie completed a BS in Dietetics and Nutrition from the University of Akron. She went on to further her education and received a MA in Child Life also from the University of Akron. After working and traveling through Akron/Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Mexico, Stephanie returned to her Ohio Valley roots to raise her family.

Out of that desire to make a positive daily impact on others, Stephanie joined the IC CARE ownership team.
