From the time he was a boy, Phil Fogg, CEO of Marquis Companies, wanted to be like Dad.
Back then, Phil Fogg Sr. ran the Marquis Piedmont, a nursing home located next door to the Foggs’ residence in Portland, OR. This line of work appealed to the 13-year-old Fogg, who enjoyed working in the facility over summers and being around the residents.
