Thoughtsparks.net is a natural overflow of Phil’s passion for web technology. He greatly enjoys writing and creating tutorials, both written and now in video format, that empower others to experiment and grow their web skills. But thoughtsparks is more than a blog of tutorials. The posts are written to equip, encourage and provoke thinking about subjects as wide as caffeine addiction to browser plug-ins. The content written comes from professional and personal experience. Many posts are often the result of questions and comments by you the reader. If you have a web, technical or life question that relates to the content of this blog, ask away.
The idea behind "Igniting Ideas for the Common Good" comes from the Biblical concept that it is better to give than receive. The author is only as enthused to publish as people are to gain from its content. He is a highly interactive author that responds quite promptly to posts to the site.
Apart from technology, Phil is a happily married husband to a beautiful lady named Sabrina. He has three daughters that are the joy of his life and is a very proud pappa. Beyond family and work life, Phil is very involved with helping to start a new church fellowship in Leander called CedarRidge Church.
