Phil Maier is from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he played baseball at Thomas More High School. After high school, Maier, played Division II baseball for University of Wisconsin Parkside and earned a Bachelors of Science Degree in Criminal Justice. After his playing career ended, he continued at University of Wisconsin Parkside as an Assistant Baseball Coach for four years working with both position players and as a Pitching Coach.
