The Founder
Phillip Bee
Founder & Principal — Colmena Capital Group

I am a builder at heart — of businesses, teams, systems, and opportunities for others. My career in the mortgage industry has been shaped by both challenge and conviction. What could have been a setback became the foundation for something greater: the opportunity to co-found Clear Modern Mortgage and help build a company grounded in transparency, honesty, and service. I have always believed that if you take care of people first — your team, your partners, and the families you serve — the business will follow.

As a co-founder and operational leader, I take pride in creating structure where it is needed, bringing clarity to complexity, and helping others succeed at a high level. My work has never been just about closing loans. It is about building a business the right way, supporting those around me, and creating an environment where excellence, accountability, and heart can exist together.

I care deeply about leadership, but not the kind that needs the spotlight. I believe real leadership is steady, servant-minded, and willing to do the hard things behind the scenes. Whether I am guiding operations, solving problems, helping shape strategy, or supporting the people around me, I try to lead with humility, consistency, and purpose.

At the center of everything is my wife and our family. My wife has been the rock through every chapter of this journey — a steady source of strength, encouragement, and belief through both the victories and the challenges. The life we are building together and the family we cherish are at the heart of why I do what I do. They remind me that success means very little if it is not rooted in faith, love, sacrifice, and the people who matter most.

At my core, I am motivated by legacy — not just professional success, but building something meaningful that lasts. For me, that includes my business, my values, my family, and the example I leave for those who are watching. I am proud of what has been built so far, but even more energized by what is still ahead.
