About the author

Philip grew up on his family’s farm in New Mexico, raising and exhibiting 4-H pig and lamb projects with his siblings. After high school, he moved to Texas to attend Texas A&M University where he earned a degree in Agricultural Economics and an MBA in Finance. Philip has lived more than forty years as a paraplegic wheelchair user after a fall from an oil service derrick as a college student rendered him paralyzed, but his disability has never dampened his zest for life or his spirit of endurance.

Today, Philip shares some of his experiences through writing and visiting with young people about challenges they may face in their own lives. He lives in Texas with his wife Karen where he is Gramps to four grandkids.
