Phil, as he was affectionally called by his many friends, graduated from Western Carolina University in 1969, where he was a member Phi Kappa Pi fraternity.

After college graduation and a decade in Asheville, Phil relocated to Greensboro where he met and married the love of his life, Maggie, and pursued careers that encompassed his many talents. He was a level three building inspector with Guilford County, and then became a general building contractor.

During subsequent moves to Savannah, GA and later Branford, CT, he took positions as zoning inspector for the respective cities. His last professional interest was as a financial advisor at Valic.

His greatest hobby and most amazing talent was redesigning and renovating the homes he and Maggie owned, and those of his friends.
