Bio
Cheryl Rouland
I had the pleasure of working under Phil for a little over two years. Because of his leadership, our team was able to build a prototype system that saved the Army time, money, and lives. Phil is a motivational leader who expects hard work but he's quick to offer praise when earned. I would have no qualms about recommending Phil for a technical management role.

I have had the great privilege of working for Mr. Hallenbeck on numerous occasions over the past 12 years and I can say that he is without a doubt the best supervisor I have ever worked for. Mr. Hallenbeck gets the job done by managing and supporting his subordinates as necessary. He allows and expects his subordinates to perform - to do what they do best. At the same time, it requires more than just letting people do their job. It requires knowledge that allows you to know when to preemptively step in and prevent a problem, and when to just say "great job, keep up the good work!" Mr. Hallenbeck has that knowledge. I would gladly work for Mr. Hallenbeck again, and, if the occasion ever presented itself, I would certainly hire him without giving it a second thought. This would be like winning the employee lottery.
