Phil Nickinson

Phil Nickinson has done a lot over his life and career. He's a trained journalist, having made newspapers and websites. He's a photographer and videographer. He's a volunteer. And most of all, a husband and father.

Phil spent the 2000s making newspapers with the Pensacola (Fla.) News Journal, the 2010s with Android Central and then the personality behind Modern Dad, and was an editor with Digital Trends. Phil’s online work has taken him all over the United States, as well as Europe and Asia.

Phil currently is Communications Manager at Community Health Northwest Florida.

When he’s not writing, editing, or shooting video, Phil served as president of the rebuilt Pensacola Youth Soccer 501(c)(3) nonprofit, has worked on multiple local political campaigns and is a semi-pro photographer and videographer.

Phil is a native of Pensacola, where he resides with his wife, daughters and a dog named Max.
