He attended Davis High School home of the Davis Darts. After high school our special Rotarian attended Utah State University in Logan, Utah where he earned his undergraduate degree in Agriculture Education. He went on to complete a Master’s Degree in Plant Pathology at the University of Wyoming.

Phil Rosenlund provided leadership and service to Laramie County and Wyoming Agriculture for many years. He served on the Governors Drought Management Task Force with current Rotary President Bill Gentle. In addition Phil is a master home building contractor.

When asked what… other than his family …. He is most proud of … He responds…” Probably… Flying C- 130’s with the National Guard…” 

Phil Rosenlund has five wonderful children, Jeremy, Nicole, Shelly, Kara, and Tracey. He is married to the lovely and talented Leigh West.

Phil was sponsored into Rotary by Phyllis Atchison. He likes Rotary because of the many special friends, and the ongoing social and service activities it provides.

Phil has served on the Agriculture Recognition Committee and he also served the Rotary Club of Cheyenne as Sargent at Arms.

His most memorable Rotary experience was participating with the Group Study Exchange that traveled to Saratov, Russia.

Phil’s favorite meal is a “rare” steak at Poor Richards with all the fixings. In his free time he enjoys running and other exercise. He also enjoys restoring and tinkering with his old “ classic” automobiles.  

In recognition of his service to our Club, our Community and our State, the Sargent at Arms will present Phil with a gift certificate from the Club.

Congratulations Phil!
