Shortly after moving to Santa Clarita, Phil and Rina became curious about the alpaca industry. So they started with two animals in 2003 and established a ranch name of Pacatudes – i. e. "alpacas with an attitude". Their herd has since grown to a 25 alpacas which board at Alpacas del Valle Cereza in Cherry Valley, CA near Beaumont. Phil also became quite active in the local alpaca industry and their animals have been very successful in the show ring. In early 2008 Phil retired from a 30 year career in the property-casualty insurance industry, culminating as a divisional Phil is also becoming active in the Santa Clarita community including volunteer work for his synagogue (Congregation Beth Shalom) and professionally both in realty and the accounting profession. He is a member of TPC Valencia where he continues a long struggle to play a successful round of golf. Since "retiring" Phil has become busier than ever pursing his passions of real estate, alpacas, participating in the community and even golf. |
