Philip Crutchfield is a devoted father of four and a proud Chicago native who still cheers on his hometown teams. A lifelong sales professional turned entrepreneur, he launched his first company in 2011 to simplify nonprofit auctions, followed by a second venture in 2016 focused on modernizing valet services. After a successful exit during the pandemic, he pivoted into the specialty contractor space, co-founding Mighty Dog Roofing. Today, Philip is focused on expanding his growing contractor portfolio alongside a strong team. Known for challenging convention, he believes the most expensive words in business are, “This is the way we’ve always done it.”
