Phil Mattingley is best known for being very determined and commited to his profession which can be seen on the way he feeds the people with the latest breaking news as a CNN correspondent. Aside from this, he is also an award winning journalist.

What does the public know about Phil?

Being a public figure who tried his best to keep some things in private, there's not much information about his biography that was shared to the public, and this includes the year when he was born. It's a fact that he celebrates his birthday every 16th of December but no one knows his exact age as his birth year was not disclosed. His birthplace was in Toledo, Ohio.

Phil loves sports since he was young but he didn't let his passion for sports get in the way of his academics standing. Instead, he used that passion as a motivation to focus more on his studies and eventually got a scholarship as an athlete at the Ohio State University. After graduation, he continued taking his Master's Degree at Boston University where he successfully completed Journalism in 2008.

His Journey towards the Fulfullment of His Dreams

Just like any goal-oriented individual, he worked hard for him to reach his goals. He took all the chances that he can in order to gain experience and expertise on his chosen profession. He worked as a reporter at Gatehouse Media's daily newsprint, The Cape Cod Times. Not so long enough, an opportunity came and he had a chance to work as a staff writer for Congressional Quarterly, a publishing company that focuses on the United States Congress. Working with CQ for three years developed his interest in covering politics.

His next goal was to improve his writing skills. As expected of him, he perfected that skill and was awarded a job at Bloomberg News as a reporter focusing in finance and economics. Given his perseverance and determination, he got promoted as a Justice Department reporter in 2012.

With his enthusiasm and professionalism, he served the White House for two years (2003 - 2005). He's always on top of the news coverage during Obama's administration and the only one behind unbelievable interviews at the time of the Edward Snowden scandal. He has received several awards on his profession and already had his works published on several newsprints including Chicago Tribune, New York Times and many more.

Getting more personal

Being one of the heartthrobs of the news industry, Phil managed to keep his relationship and family life in private. He is now married to long time girlfriend, Chelsea Carter. The couple welcomed their first child in 2015.

Aside from everything mentioned above, we can consider Phil as a role model not only for students and to all the people who will do everything to reach their dreams but also to all fathers and husbands out there who wanted to keep a good status in their marriage and family life. It is best to keep some things in private and believe that whatever issues you have within your home, should stay at home and should be resolved by the people within the family.
