Hello, I'm Larry. Born in Los Angeles and raised in Compton, I've honed my skills in construction for 20 years, from framing to stucco. Joining PHP Painting marked a high point in my career, offering a blend of family, employment, and mentorship like no other. Away from work, I enjoy family time, working out, traveling, and peaceful walks, but I truly relish my alone time for reflection and rejuvenation. I'm a dedicated worker who loves his job, values family, and strives for balance in life.

Hello, I'm John. I've been employed at PHP Painting since September 2022, a role I take immense pride in. In my spare time, I love working on cars, fishing, and camping - simple pleasures that satisfy my passion for mechanics, nature, and tranquility. My world is made even richer by my two wonderful daughters, aged 8 and 9, whom I cherish deeply. For me, life is about finding balance between my work, my hobbies, and my family - creating a blend of city life and outdoor escapades, complexity and simplicity.

I was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Was raised in Flagstaff, Arizona during early childhood and spent my latter years raised in Champaign-Urbana, IL. I attended Parkland College in Champaign, IL and studied Business Management. I then worked in Sales and Finance for over 17 years. I have successfully created a few small business for myself along the way but as fate has it I ended up here at PHP Commercial Painting. I love my position as Safety Coordinator, and for  that I am very grateful and blessed to be part of such an amazing family here at PHP Commercial Painting.

Born in Oceanside, California and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, Will now eagerly awaits the birth of his first child. Deeply family-oriented and a lover of the outdoors, he invests his time in community service, teaching in a vocational program. Professionally, he excels as a commercial estimator for PHP Painting.

Hi, I'm Chris Centner, Phoenix-born, and shaped by the strong work ethic of my single mother. For the past year, I've been immersing myself in all aspects of construction at PHP Painting. I'm a firm believer in taking initiative, always seeking tasks needing attention and encouraging this mindset among my peers. Off-duty, I'm an outdoors enthusiast with a love for anything motorized I can ride or drive. But above all, I cherish time spent with my family. My life is about giving my all, whether at work, in my hobbies, or with my loved ones.

Balancing a gratifying professional role with my vibrant family life fuels my daily inspiration.

Hello! I'm Alita, PHP Painting's friendly office dog, and self-appointed "Director of First Impressions." My role is to meet and greet you with a wagging tail at the door, bringing a burst of furry cheer to brighten your day. When not welcoming visitors or patrolling the office, I'm probably taking a cozy nap. As a key part of the PHP Painting family, I'm always ready to give you the warmest welcome!
