Phil was born March 17, 1922, in the town of Chimney Rock, Trempealeau County, Wis., to Alfred and Hilda (Halvorson) Olson. He married Marlyce Nelson on May 16, 1948, at Elk Creek Lutheran Church, rural Osseo.

Phil farmed in the town of Chimney Rock, and worked for the township. Phil and his family spent the majority of their lives in Osseo.
