Phinney graduated from the University of California at Berkeley with a dual major in English and Political Science. He began his journalism career as a music and film critic and by writing humorous sketches about local personalities and events in the San Francisco Bay Area. A one-time publishing executive and editor, he co-founded Bay City Publications in the San Francisco Bay Area, publisher of ''Bay City Business Journal'' and the ''Emeryville Guardian'' and other ventures. The two publications won awards for investigative work that exposed political corruption and real estate scandals in California. The effort triggered a five-year federal grand jury investigation and was reiterated by other California news organizations.
