Mary Phillips

CEO/ Director of Special Events

Born and raised in Iowa on a farm, Mary attended Murray State University on a rodeo scholarship. Her field of study was accounting. During Mary’s time at Murray State she met her future husband, John D Phillips. They were married in Pennsylvania and lived there a year before their son JW was born. They then moved to Iowa a few years later where Shelby was born. In 1996 the family moved to Arizona where Mary worked for America West Airlines starting in the reservation department, eventually advancing to management as a supervisor for many departments. Mary finally settled in the emergency planning and response department.

After recognizing the growth of the family stained glass business Mary decided to leave the aviation business to help build Associated Crafts® & Willet Hauser as co-CEO.
