Working for Computer Sciences Corporation, he led a world-class technical support team, in addition to building and managing a 24-hour international help-desk. Side projects focus on building cheap, self-sustainable Web sites for local businesses for friends (www.harpoonbrewery.com, www.arkival.com, www.backbaybicycle.com, www.DiCamilloCompanion.com. Originally from Portland, Maine, Phil holds a B.A. in History and Philosophy from Boston University, and a M.Ed. from UMass, Boston. He now resides in the suburbs of Boston, playing foosball, and tinkering with his cars.
