Born in Marin County, CA, Philip was was kicked out of Theater School for making "too many poop jokes" and subsequently found himself immersed in athletics more strongly than the stage.

But by high school Philip was performing in local productions of "Hair" and "Midsummer Night's Dream" while making documentaries and short films. He attended the University of Southern California's film school with a major in "Critical Studies", all the while writing and performing in sketch troupes, plays and short films. A brief stint as an editor reminded him he was not cut out for office work, and through the encouragement of friends he began study at the Upright Citizens Brigade.

Balancing time between modeling, commercial work and writing, Philip resides in Los Angeles where he practices banjo, guitar, and writes a comedy blog, Cliffs Notes For Songs, with his writing accomplice, Wil Donegan. He studies at John Rosenfeld Studios.
