UPhil uyintloko yezemali kunye nokusebenza kwe-Colorado Access kwaye ube nenkampani phantse iminyaka eyi-18. Ngaphambi kokuza kwi-Colorado Access, uPhil wasebenzela i-State of Colorado iminyaka eyi-21, kuquka iminyaka eyisixhenxe kwiSebe lePolisi yezeMpilo kunye neNkxaso-mali. Kuzo zonke, uPhil uye wanikezela phantse iminyaka eyi-25 yomsebenzi wakhe kwi-Health First Colorado (iprogram ye-Colorado Medicaid) kunye neSicwangciso seMpilo yabantwana Plus (CHP +) yabemi. Ukuba yinxalenye yesisombululo ngumnqweno. UPhil sisizukulwana sesithathu seColoradan kwaye wazalelwa wakhulela eDenver. UPhil unabantwana abathathu abadala, bonke ngoku bangabahlobo abasenyongweni, kodwa abantwana bakhe bazimele bodwa kwaye ke uPhil ugxininisa ixesha lakhe kwinja yakhe uBru, ikhaya lakhe, igadi yakhe, abahlobo bakhe, umthambo kunye nokuhamba ("siphi na? uhamba ngokulandelayo?"). Ukwangumthandi womculo kwaye wonwabela ngakumbi i-jazz, i-rock, kunye neblues. Umculo ophilayo uyimfuneko!
