Currently persuing a graduate degree at student at Kent State University in Ohio, Phil is one of the original co-founders of The Center for Wilderness Safety. His interest and passion for both outdoor education, outdoor adventure, and wilderness medicine all stem from his involvement in Scouting.

Phil is a graduate of both the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) as well as the Wilderness Medical Institute of NOLS, and has a degree in Recreation and Park Management from the Pennsylvania State University. He currently also serves as a NOLS rep for the Central Pennsylvania region.
Along side his passion for wilderness medicine and instructing many of our wilderness medicine courses, Phil is also an instructor for the American Red Cross as well as a member of a local Search and Rescue Team, operating out of Central PA.
