Phillip Smith

I am Phillip, a retired United States Navy Hospital Corpsman with 20 years of experience in Healthcare Administration. In 2006, I embarked on a journey of long-term recovery and continue to actively participate in 12-step recovery and Recovery Dharma.  My second career was as a Healthcare Technical Implementation Project Manager. I then owned my own IT business here in Ocala until Covid pandemic forced the business to close. I am an avid meditator, passionate about sharing the benefits of mindfulness and meditation with others.  I am happily married to my best friend Carol and am very proud of our three grown children and their spouses, two grandchildren, and a delightful household that includes two spiritual masters (cats), two lap-dogs, and a grumpy but charming 185-pound Vietnamese pot-belly house-pig named Pepe.
