Passions

Phil dedicates much of his free time to civic organizations, including Sugar Grove Economic Development Corporation, Yorkville Area Chamber of Commerce and the Fox Valley Family YMCA.

When it’s time to relax, you’ll find him enjoying a good adventure novel, biography or book on history. Lakeside is his favorite place to be, and he spends as much time as he can by the water with friends and family. He also enjoys unwinding to good music.

"Knowing you had a hand in local businesses succeeding in providing essential products and services to the community, employment to themselves and others, to in turn provide for their families, is very rewarding."
