His athletic prowess continued at Dartmouth College, where he excelled in track and football, playing alongside notable teammates like Jeff Immelt and Buddy Teevens.
Post-college, Phil briefly tried out for the Chicago Bears before earning an MBA from The University of Chicago. Shifting his focus to the creative arts, Phil now resides in Los Angeles, where he writes and produces plays. He has penned 19 published plays, including hits like "A Twisted Christmas Carol," “Birthday Club,” and "Mom's Gift", which have been performed in multiple countries. Notably, his plays have garnered over 50 awards, and many are set in his home state of Minnesota.
