| Info | Phil Thalheimer is a successful businessman with a diverse history of public service, community involvement and philanthropy.
Phil currently serves as the President and co-founder of San Diego Flight Training International (SDFTI). SDFTI trains individuals in civilian aviation (offering college degrees in this field), and has recently entered into several partnerships to train and place new pilots. Since opening in 1989, the successful flight training school now owns and operates 19 aircraft and enjoys revenues of over $3 million per year.
Prior to founding SDFTI, Phil embarked on a career in public service with the City of San Diego’s Financial Management Department, where he worked as a citywide “efficiency expert” working to solve management problems throughout the city government. His efforts to create an employee communications and feedback program were singled out for strengthening the voice of city employees during periods of major transition.
Phil also led the committee that wrote the city’s Information Master Plan, overseeing multiple technological upgrades that enabled our local government to operate with much greater efficiency.
His work on the Information Master Plan led to a citywide reorganization and consolidation of hundreds of managerial jobs, reducing the size of our government and saving taxpayer dollars. During the reorganization, Phil even recommended the elimination of his own position.
In 1996, he went to work for San Diego Data Processing Corporation (DPC), which upgrades and manages information and communication technologies for public agencies. While at DPC, Phil developed and oversaw plans for the more efficient delivery of public services through user-friendly technology, saving taxpayers millions of dollars in administrative costs.
Phil sits on the Board of Management for the Rancho Peñasquitos Family YMCA, the Board of Governors of the Home of Guiding Hands, the San Diego Airports Advisory Board and the County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) Advisory Board.
He was previously Chairman of the Board for the Centre for Organizational Effectiveness and The Pilot Career Foundation, a national foundation to support youth seeking careers in aviation. He has also served on the Rancho Peñasquitos Planning Board and Town Council.
As Chairman of San Diegans for the Mount Soledad National Memorial, Phil led the successful citywide campaign to keep the memorial “as it is, where it is” in honor of the brave members of our nation’s military who fought and sacrificed for our freedom.
He was also honored to have led the Southern California campaign in support of the successful Jessica’s Law initiative that is now taking the worst criminals off our streets and making our neighborhoods safe again. Phil lives in Carmel Valley with his wife, Jennifer Isaac, and his two daughters, Arianna and Ilyssa.
