Phil was born and raised in Geelong.  After attending Ashby State School he then moved to Bell Park High and from there to RMIT to obtain his Technical Standards qualifications. He returned to study at the Gordon Institute of Technology for a Diploma of Business Studies (Law). Phil came to the Anglican Church from an Evangelical Lutheran background. As time progressed he felt a need to move on in his journey. He literally walked into an Anglican Church in Geelong West one Sunday morning and due to the Priest there, he stayed. During this time there was an increasing sense of call and, as a mature candidate, the Anglican Church accepted him for ordination. He studied for his Bachelor of Ministries at Ridley College, which was significant in his Anglican formation. His Spiritual Journey has been significantly influenced by two Lutheran Pastors who introduced him to the promise and the freedom of the Gospel and two Anglican Priests who encouraged him to explore boundaries in a safe and secure atmosphere. In addition to his theology degree he also has obtained several post graduate qualifications. He has a strong interest in personal, spiritual, development and encouraging people to be the people they were created to be.
