My name is Phil Sanchez. I was born on August 9, 1977, in Denver, Colorado. I was raised in Thornton, Colorado. I have two older brothers, an older sister, my wife Nicole, my son Ander and my daughter Piper. I wrestled for 4 years at the University of Northern Colorado and also wrestled at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. After graduating from U.N.C. I lived in the Basque Country, Donosti-San Sebastian, Spain for a year and then moved to Palm Springs. I've taught elementary, Middle School, and now High School. I have coached; High School wrestling, Middle School archery, soccer, basketball, volleyball and sports performance. Some of my favorite things to do when I’m not teaching are spending time with my family, reading, traveling, rock climbing, bouldering, hiking, learning foreign languages, woodworking and technology.
