Philip di Giacomo
Philip di Giacomo
Rock Specialist
Phillip diGiacomo calls himself a human factors engineer, not a builder of rocks. While some of the most beautiful, manmade rock features are part of his legacy, he sees his work on them as a byproduct of his real passion: determining the best setting for people by listening to their life’s activities and heart’s desires. When he has heard the spirit of his potential client, he can produce a setting, sculpted out of rock and water, which reflects that client’s ambient dreams. His passion to help people achieve qualitative change and more fulfilling lives permeates his work. Today, his name is synonymous with the best rock features in the world.
