In the summer of 2002 Phil traveled to the tiny town of Northham Australia to embark on an international adventure. As the exclusive videographer, producer
and editor for a three-man media crew, Phil documented the solo flight of Steve Fossett while the millionaire adventurer made his historic and record setting journey around the world!

The following year Phil was called upon to work on the broadcast production of the Champ Car World Series (formerly know as C.A.R.T.) His duties included videography, field production and Producing / editing for the race series, individual teams and the domestic and international media networks.

When finished with the production of ESPN's Great Outdoor Games, Phil would again travel overseas to utilize his field production and camera skills during
the famous 24 Hours of Lemans race.

The final days of 2004 included even more performance related television production for Phil as he worked on SEMA Las Vegas, a two-hour Speed Channel special featuring the world's largest automotive
aftermarket show.

2005 was yet another exciting and diverse year for Phil. The season was highlighted by his production efforts for the Barrett Jackson Classic Car Auction,

editing, consulting and creative post-production.

Phil holds a Bachelor of Science from Saint Joseph's College and a Master of Arts from the University of Wisconsin-Superior. When he isn't at Lingner Group
