Phil’s love for music started in his early teenage years when he began playing drums. He later found his passion for craftsmanship and building which laid the foundation for his career. Phil met his wife in August of 1978, proposed in October and they married in January 1979. They started their family in 1982 with their son, Aaron, who followed Phil in his love of music, the family continued to grow with Amanda in 1983 and was complete in 1989 with Jessica.
The Lord led the family to serve in Russia in 1994 as short-term missionaries, upon returning to the states he began work as a general contractor.
Phil was well loved by many; he had a quick wit and a generous nature along with an uncanny ability to solve problems. He continued to follow his Lord by singing and playing drums in the church praise band. Phil touched the lives of many with his hospitality, his door was always open, he genuinely loved people. In true Phil fashion he donated the gift of life and continues to solve problems even after his life ended.
