Pastor Phil started his career in his mother’s basement by teaching youth about Black History, which ultimately became the New Generation Youth Ministry of the Shiloh Baptist Church. He was dealing with personal life issues and decided to move back home for a short period of time prior to relocating to Washington DC to pursue a career in management. Instead of entering corporate America, he started tutoring youth which led to full-time ministry.
