The ABS Family

Patrick Phillips is a best-selling author, nationally-recognized speaker and entrepreneur who retired at age 52 after having founded a national financial services company generating over ten million dollars a year.

He co-authored Wake Up & Live The Life You Love: Finding Your Life’s Passion with Dr. Wayne Dyer and Mark Victor Hansen. The principles in his newest book, How To Reprogram Yourself for Success, have been used by thousands of people worldwide to improve their relationships, break bad habits and reach their personal and financial goals.

Because of the popularity of his “Million-Dollar Mindset,” he’s been interviewed on dozens of national radio and television programs.

He and his wife, Linda, started filing electronic medical claims in 1987, working from their home, and began licensing their proprietary billing systems to others through American Business Systems, LLC in 1994.

Linda is the "real" founder of American Business Systems, Inc. In 1987, while home schooling her two children, a friend who owned a durable medical equipment company asked her if she could process his medical claims. She told him she had never done medical billing, but she was sure she could figure it out. A week later, she was typing up his claims and mailing them to the insurance companies for payment.

Within two years, she and her husband had built the company to a six-figure income, still working out of their home. Then, by 1994, they had developed a turnkey marketing and training program and began to license others to do medical billing. Linda continues to work in the business, although she no longer does the actual billing. She now spends time in community projects, as well as spending time traveling with Patrick and babysitting her four grandchildren: Ezekiel, Lia, Jonas and Olivia.

Adam has a background in the mortgage industry and provided support and training for over 1,000 offices for a national payment-processing firm from 1994 to 2001. Since coming on with ABS, Adam has channeled his expertise into helping prospective Licensees learn how they can become successful in starting their own medical billing business.

In addition, Adam also assists and oversees the other Licensing Consultants here at ABS. His unique drive and passion to see others succeed makes him an invaluable asset to our company and a wealth of knowledge for those interested in starting their own business.

Adam currently lives near Fort Worth, TX with his wife and three children.

Rhodi has 15 years experience working in the medical field and customer service. She brings her expertise and experience from both of these backgrounds to help ABS in its growth as a leader in the medical billing field and to its Licensees in reaching their personal and business goals.

As Director of Licensing, she oversees the day-to-day operations at ABS, as well as assisting our Licensing Consultants and Founder. One of her most fulfilling tasks is helping our new licensees in getting registered and booked for our Live Training Workshop here in Dallas. She says she enjoys helping launch new entrepreneurs on their way to freedom in their own business. Rhodi likes to read, watch movies and spend time with family and friends. She lives in the Fort Worth area with her family, and two four-legged children.

Andrew has a Bachelor's of Business Administration in Marketing from the University of Texas at Arlington and an extensive background in client relations and customer service.

As a Licensing Consultant he helps people from all walks of life achieve their goals of business ownership. Andrew very much enjoys working with family and, like all of our staff members, takes great pride in what the company represents.

Inspired by our founder and his Father-in-law, Patrick Phillips, and inspired by our many successful licensees, Andrew is in the midst of building his own startup company that takes a proactive approach to recycling discarded household items and making them useful again. That is of course when he isn’t doting on his lovely wife, Sarah, and their new baby girl, Olivia, who all currently reside in Keller.

Jason has been a top producer as a Loan Consultant at CTX Mortgage for over five years, and before that spent five years as a self-employed Site Director of an Educational Program. He has also had training as a graphic artist and finished his B.A. at LeTourneau University. Jason is an accomplished musician with a band that landed a national recording contract. He enjoys spending time with his wife and three young children.

Jason’s passion in life is helping others succeed in their own business. As one of our Licensing Consultants, he speaks with prospective Licensees and directs them on how to best reach their goals as ABS Licensees.

Alysha brings to ABS ten years of experience working in various aspects of the medical industry, including patient relations and account management.

As a Licensing Consultant, she assists individuals in the discovery process and is able to relate her own background in the medical field to the real need for ABS licensees' services. Alysha enjoys working with her family in helping others to achieve their financial goals and dreams.

In her spare time she enjoys reading, traveling and spending time with her family. She also resides in Keller, TX.

Kim has traveled the country working with Licensees for the past five years. She has been instrumental in assisting entrepreneurs in realizing their potential and achieving their financial goals. Kim has worked in customer service for more than ten years prior to joining the ABS team. Her experience has been an asset to the organization in assisting Licensees with their business start-up.

In her spare time she enjoys youth sports with her two sons, reading, camping and family barbeques with her nieces and nephews. Kim lives in the Austin, Texas area with her husband and two children.

Jo Ann wears many hats for ABS, most notably she is our Shipping Coordinator, but also assists greatly with the production of our regular Live Training sessions. Besides these heavy tasks, she also oversees printing and assembly, inventory, and acts as liaison to our licensees.

Previously Jo Ann spent eight years working for a group of physicians in Fort Worth, Texas, before retiring to be with her family. Much like her brother-in-law and our founder, Patrick Phillips, she soon felt the need to help people again and joined ABS at it's inception in 1994. She is the glue that keeps ABS together and says she loves every minute of it!

Jo Ann adores her beautiful daughter, Alysha, and her husband of 34 years, Rick. She and Rick live with her mom, Sue, in Haltom City where they all enjoy watching movies, playing board games together, and of course, The Beatles.
