Phil Gallant started his career over 43 years ago by going door to door collecting premiums and writing new policies for John Hancock in the tiny town of Uxbridge Massachusetts which is about 47 miles west of Boston. Young and full of ambition, he learned that he needed to expand his knowledge to learn how to help clients with more complex money issues. But he never forgot the special relationships he developed with his ""customers"" back then. The feeling of building relationships with people who just wanted to do the right thing for themselves, and their families is what drew Phil deeper into the financial services business. ""I've never been in it for the money"", Phil says, ""I've always been in it for the people I've met and the friends I've made.""Phil is married to his best friend Michelle and lives in Saratoga County, New York.
