Born just after sunset on July 23, 1958 in Cincinnati, Ohio, baby Phil joined a loving family with an unusual and fascinating ancestry.
In his teenage years, Philosophical Phil discovered that based on his affinities and strengths he was destined for a nonconventional life.
At an essential turning point in his life, Phil's journey led him into two forms of awe, which he came to know as AWE1 and AWE2.
Phil's life's calling as an educator became clear to him early on as a result of one of his most influential heroes, Mrs. Stoffregan.
A good teacher must first be a good student, and it took years of work for Student, Scholar and Researcher Phil to come into his own.
Given his natural gift of understanding systems, it was just a matter of time for Phil as Darryl to move into educational administration.
In the evening of his life, Phil has expanded his calling as an educator into sharing the fruits of his life with a wider group of friends.
