Phil Bowers has been involved with Global Brigades for well over a decade, getting his start in the trenches as a Water Brigades volunteer back in 2010. He graduated from Indiana University, Bloomington with degrees in Geography Information Systems and Political Science. He has worked as a Program Associate in Nicaragua and Panama, and has also supported the Squads Abroad team from Guatemala. In addition to his time with Global Brigades, Phil has also used his talents as a construction foreman at Habitat for Humanity, and manager of ski shops in Colorado and Montana. He currently serves as the Partnerships Coordinator for Global Medical Brigades, working to recruit more volunteers in support of our mission. After all these years, Phil’s favorite part of the job is collaborating with so many great team members across the world.
When he’s not traveling abroad or working for GB, Phil can be found in the great outdoors, primarily backpacking, skiing, or wrestling moose with his bare hands.
