Hi, my name is Phil, and I grew up as a long-suffering New York Mets fan. As a boy I played some baseball (shortstop) but mostly listened to the broadcast team of Bob Murphy, Lindsey Nelson and Ralph Kiner on the Mets Radio Network (my local radio station broadcasted the Mets games). Those were the best of days despite the Mets troubling seasons.

​Flash forward to October 1999 when I arrived in San Diego, California. Being the baseball nut that I was I started rooting for the San Diego Padres at the start of the 2000 season. 25 years later I am still a Padres die-hard fan. You can follow me on X, if you like, for more regular daily updates and retweets!

I recently delved into the world of AI I found a wonderful app that allows me to explore one of my passions- music. I am uploading the songs I have created on the app here for you all to listen.

I also am a Progressive, when it comes to politics, and have no problem speaking out when our Democracy needs defending.
