Phil Gibson and a group of friends created Great Life Stories in 2006 to preserve the stories and experience of all of our parents and grandparents so we could share them with our children, grandchildren, and future generations. 

Phil’s previous experience took him through the semiconductor industry with roles in design, sales, and marketing over a 25 year career.  He created one of the first web sites in the technology business at National Semiconductor and that site has become known for innovation since its inception.  Phil holds an electrical engineering degree from UC Davis and an MBA from the University of Southern California.
