He plays guitar, keyboards, and bass equally bad, and drums even worse! He performs mostly with fellow classmate with Mike Raiden, Ryan Raiden (Mike's son and adopted nephew), and another WHHS alumnus, Dean "Dino" Bagley between many beers! Most actual performances are done for charity groups and retirements.
Phil's interests include stalking terrorists and helping them meet God, fishing, riding with various law enforcement officials, and aggravating his wife by buying musical instruments - mostly guitars, but she gets keyboards and pianos!
