While still in college, Phil was able to gain some very valuable experience working as a multimedia journalist for KMSB in Tucson.
After graduating in May 2009, Phil went straight to work as a bureau reporter for KFOX in El Paso, Texas. There he covered everything from severe weather to politics all across southern New Mexico territory. Phil made his jump to San Antonio in June 2011.
Phil is the proud father of three boys, Elijah, Phillip and Noel. He loves spending time with his children and considers them his pride and joy. Phil will also tell you that becoming a father has made him a better journalist.
