Our Team

Phil Heidt PHIL HEIDT
President
Phil Heidt knows about event rentals. ABC Rentals opened in 1969 and he spent much of his life working in the store and learning the business. In 1996, he bought the business from his parents, keeping it in the family for years to come. As President of ABC Special Event Rentals, Phil expanded the product offering, taking it from a tool/party rental store to one of the premier special event rental businesses in Washington State. Phil and his wife Alexia oversee the day-to-day operations of the 34,000 square feet warehouse and a staff of 40 Plus. When he’s not strategizing about the business, Phil loves to travel and play golf.
