About Phil

Well, I take things apart to make them better or break them, I rock out, I fix my motorcycle when she needs it, I code various programs I need for whatever, I dig up great off beat films to watch, take photos, I roast and drink quite a bit of coffee as well as booze and I cook a mean fillet mignon, among other things I suppose.
