I keep getting the AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute XXXXX, I know this is because my regex isn't catching a match.

There are three errors:
- remove the ^ and $ anchors. They are used to force a pattern to be next to the beginning and end of the string. Since the target is not at either of these, the can’t be a match.
- there needs to be a ,\s between the fields to consume the comma space
- finally, the fields are reversed. Email is before phone
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!
