Raised in Richmond, Virginia, Phil began playing the snare drum at age eleven, and by the time he finished high school he had.played with a variety of local organizations from the youth symphony to regular weekend work with a rock group. Then. after attending one year at the Virginia Commonwealth University, Phil transferred to the University of Cincinnati, where, during the next four years, he participated in all the usual music activities ranging from opera to percussion ensemble, as well as many local gigs, including extra percussion with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra After his formal training was completed, three years of "serving dues” on the road followed while working with many lounge and show groups, as well as a concert attraction playing many of the southern and midwestern colleges. During all this time whether at club or concert engagements, Phil has played drums or percussion for such names as: Jack Jones, Phyllis Diller, Milton Berle, Shirley Maclaine, the Mills Brothers, Mimi Hines, Florence Henderson, John Davidson, Leslie Uggams, Al Martino, Diahann Caroll, and Dave Brubeck (percussion on the Gates of Justice album) and many others, Now, after working and watching his many students struggle to advance their playing, Phil has devised on his own many NEW, CREATIVE ideas to help make learning rhythm more easy and fun for the average student. The future? More students, more books, and many more HAPPY DAYS making music.
