    Phil does not consider himself a religious man, but a few years ago he went through a hard time in his life, and he began attending church regularly.

    Phil peels apples with members of the Church of the Nazarene, the congregation he attends. Every year for two weeks, they join forces to bake around 5000 thousand apples pies that are sold to raise money for missionary work done by the church. This year Phil peeled about 500 apples every night for two weeks.

    Phil interacts with one of the forty Scottish Highland cattle that he and his wife own. Each animal has a name, and Phil treats them like pets. “Even if the animals weren’t profitable at all we would keep at least few of them. We enjoy their company.”
