Phil and Ginni Lyons

Phil Lyons has been a Bus Nut and moderator of the BCM forum for many years. He and his wife Ginni live in the central highlands of Arizona.  Phil’s day job is in IT Security and Ginni is a retired Registered Nurse.

They are the proud parents and grandparents of daughters, granddaughters, and two spoiled dogs.

Phil and Ginni are part of a bluegrass/gospel trio called Copper Mountain String Along, are members of Bethel Baptist Church in Prescott Valley, and volunteer and serve in various capacities in the church and the community.

RVing has been part of their lives for over 35 years, and they both hope to enjoy the bus lifestyle for many more years.
