Phil is the 2007 APA World Champion in the 242-pound class (total). He has held the APF 275-pound class raw National bench, squat, deadlift, and total records. Phil is now working his way to a 804+lbs raw beltless deadlift in the 275 weight class he just narrowly missed at lockout in Pleasanton Ca. He has been ranked in the “Top 10” in the deadlift across all national powerlifting federations. In addition, Phil has in a few short months moved to the A class in highland games with the goal of going Pro.

Has vast experience coaching in person and distance with men and women in all walks of life from athlete to beginner. Has taken a number of athletes from the couch, or simple recreational lifter and brought them to national and world record holders in strength sports. Phil is known as the guy who has been there done that, from facing life halting injury to recreating himself from obese in his early 20′s to an 165lb runner, to a national record holding athlete – if you’re there, it’s likely he can relate.
