In 1967, Phil married his wife under a tall tree near New Carlisle, Ohio, and the couple remained happily married for 55 years.

He was a visionary who recognized the power of visual media to engage and inspire audiences, and he dedicated his passion to running the CINDY Awards, a project he held close to his heart for over 30 years. Through CINDYS, Phil aimed to help others gain exposure in their respective fields.
Aside from his work in film production, Phil was also an avid blues fan and loved listening to his favorite guitarists while working on his vintage car collection.
