Never copied, never imitated, it’s the one and only
As the one and only member of the LLC (so far) all duties and responsibilities are
mine. This means everything from buying and selling property, obtaining financing,
keeping the books to tearing out flooring, walls and ceilings, replacing old fixtures,
and doing total remodels. All this in addition to day to day repairs of everything
from the roof to the crawlspace and everything in between. I also take care of all
collections, credit checks and counseling. Everything.
Providing quality, affordable housing for everyone is the motto of Phalanx Enterprises.
The company incorporated on August 25, 2008 and now has 20 plus properties.

My maternal grandfather was a carpenter and my mom picked up a lot from him. Dad
was always a total do-it-yourself guy and between the two, I learned how to do a
little bit of everything in building or remodeling a house. In high school and college
my studies and interests focused on accounting and business management which gave
me the base for handling the “paperwork” end of running a business. The business
is doing very well now and the future looks bright.
