Phil graduated from Upper Darby High School and attended Bloomsburg University. He served in the Unites States Army as a chaplain’s assistant in Nuremberg, Germany before the start of his first career in banking. Phil worked at First Pennsylvania Bank, Doylestown National, and Continental Bank. He then became owner of the Touch of Class Jewelers in Warminster and Buckingham Green with his wife Joanne for over 32 years. From there Phil worked in sales for Brinker Fuels and finished his working career at Bucks County Courthouse in the court judicial system.
