Phil Seibel
President

Advanced Benefit Solutions is a family business, founded and built by Phil’s father, Ronald Seibel. Phil joined as president of the firm in 2021 to carry on the family business after working in the insurance industry for more than a decade. Phil is a natural advocate for others with a unique ability to identify risk and make the complex world of benefits accessible for small business owners.

As president of Advanced Benefit Solutions, Phil takes every opportunity to learn from the business owners he meets as they share their stories of success and challenges. He identifies with other entrepreneurs who are forging their own path. His active role in ABS involves managing client relationships and assisting with plan designs. A true visionary, Phil takes a hands-on approach as he manages the practice and works to cultivate a sustainable organization that will be helping other small businesses for decades to come.

Phil attended the University of Texas on a baseball scholarship and studied communications. Phil’s professional baseball career spanned 7 years with the highlight being a member of the 2004 World Series Champion Boston Red Sox. After deciding to retire, Phil obtained a job in the front office of the Arizona Diamondbacks.

After a year and a half of working in the front office, Phil decided to follow in his father’s footsteps and join the insurance world. Since 2009, Phil has consulted clients and advisors on insurance-related needs.

Outside of the office, Phil loves spending time with his wife and their children.
