Born and raised in Easton, Pennsylvania, Phil grew up in a large Italian family as the oldest of five children. His four siblings are all adopted as his parents opened their hearts and homes to children in need.
Phil received his degree in Computer Science from Juniata College in Pennsylvania. He never envisioned himself being a writer, but his relationship struggles inspired him.
Phil met the love of his life and was married in 1990. His marriage lasted thirteen years during which Phil took on various endeavors including Disc Jockey, owning a catering facility, and developing one of the top internet radio stations in the world.
He divorced in 2003 and moved to San Diego the following year to enjoy a better climate and to find new love. He currently resides in San Diego with his two trusty felines, Syd and Symon.
Dating is a humorous struggle for Phil as he approaches his fifties. He writes humorous essays about his experiences, which are enjoyed by his numerous Facebook and Twitter fans.
God - "Yes, I created the author and seeded his desire for wine, women, and one-night stands for my own entertainment. Look, I can't get cable up here yet so give me a break."
Cocktail Server - "He's so nice. I totally would sleep with him, but he's like a brother to me. OK, maybe more like an uncle: a cute uncle. 'Sorry, just the tip, Uncle Phil.' LOL"
Syd (Phil's cat) - "I still don't know what's all the hubbub about dating human women anyway. Give me tuna, a windowsill, and a roll of toilet paper to shred and I have all I need."
