Phil graduated from La Porte High School in 1959.  During his school sports career, he ran track and played football.  In 1959, Phil was named to the NIC All Conference Football Team playing as an End.  He proudly earned the nickname "Speedy" for his many track and football awards.

Phil worked in management for multiple manufacturing companies.  His last job before retiring was with Whirlpool Corporation.
