In his personal time, Phil enjoys painting. He began creating art as a child, sketching people, animals, landscapes, houses, and wildflowers with pastels. Now, Phil is fond of painting with oils and wax. His current pieces range from contemporary, to panoramic ocean scenes, to the flowers he has planted in his back yard. Phil is also passionate about supporting the local arts. He is a patron of both The Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival and UCF’s Flying Horse Arts Program. In addition to architecture and art, Phil is an accomplished marathon runner. He has a personal goal of running marathons in each of our 50 states and has completed 48 to date!
