Phil, a successful businessman, brought his ideas and managing skills together and founded the Magic City Bop Club of Birmingham, growing from 28 charter members in attendance at their first meeting to more than 300 members. He served as the club’s first President and first Chairman of the Board. Loving good people and good music, Phil originated the SOB Hang Out Weekend held on the beach every year in Panama City FL drawing hundreds of dancers from all over the country. He has since moved to Orange Beach AL on the Gulf Coast and is enjoying his retirement.
