Phil is a Milwaukee guy. He was born and raised in Milwaukee, a graduate of UW-Milwaukee in 1982. He first took to the airwaves in the Milwaukee market in the fall of 1978 when he began attending classes at UWM.

Married to Sandy, another Milwaukeean. No children but a Cairn terrier named Gabby. (Phil is very active with the Wisconsin Humane Society).

Phil has made a connection with the people of this area through his decades of reaching out to them via the radio while talking about the events and news stories that affect the entire community. That connection is reflected in the hundreds of e-mails and blog comments that have been sent or posted in support of his next project, the PhilCast podcast.

 RU a "Sconnie"?
A listener sent Phil a video link that features an entire song ripping off the Coasties song by replacing Coasties with Sconnies. Perhaps it's the fact that Phil is a little punchy because of a head cold, but he loves the song. A PhilCast listener in Pleasant Prairie had his roof ripped up by the wind storm Tuesday, and Phil gives his TV coverage of the storm a review. Which Milwaukee station got the job done when it came to actual breaking news about the Tuesday twister? Listen to find out his pick on that along with what he calls the hottest TV news anchor in the city.
