“There is a
silver lining in
everyone’s life
leading the way to
Personal Success”
From landscape designer to weightlifter
to highly recognized art sculptor, Phillip
Silverman’s talents are endless. So may yours
be if you trust the natural direction of your life.
With a qualification in landscape design, Phillip
had his mind set on a career in construction
and building. His idea was to work on houses,
both inside and out. But a rather chaotic
project in the film industry quickly made
him realize that he needs to change track. A
sudden change in heart lead Phillip to the
Health and Fitness Industry, where he found
himself studying and training as a professional
weightlifter in his early twenties. A decision
that would ultimately see Phillip representing
New Zealand at the Commonwealth Games in
Kuala Lumpur in 1998.
He finished in sixth place.
