Philip was raised under the evergreen forests of the Pacific Northwest. He doesn't have the accolade of ever playing on a national title holding team, but did win Male MVP of the 2011 New Zealand Club Nationals while playing for the last place team. He retains his Ro Sham Bo fire and in 2013 joined the prestigious ACL Recovery Club. When not playing Ultimate Philip is usually hiking or camping - anything to be outside and get away from his day job as an independent web developer.
