Phil then settled in Arizona, where his parents visited frequently. He has two sons from his first marriage to Nancy Carlton. He met and married his second wife, Teddy, in Scottsdale, Arizona and eventually had three daughters. In Arizona, he learned to scuba dive, and joined a diving club called the Cactus Divers. He also raised horses, hunted, camped and fished. Phil went on to earn a degree in architecture at CSU and worked for Chief Metal buildings, then eventually owned his own businesses, Wagonmaster Inc. & Consumer Construction Consultants, building and consulting in residential homes for fifty-five years.
