Philipp started skating at age 6. He and his sister were both
avid downhill skiers who were taken to the ice by their Grandfather when there wasn't enough snow to ski. They
haven't stopped since. When they moved to the US in 1990,
they continued to skate at North Texas Ice Arena in Valley Ranch, under Pierre Panayi.

may return to get his MBA, possibly in Sports. He
previously attended Texas Christian University and has
also been involved with the University of Delaware's
Omicron Delta Kappa chapter as well as being on the

Philipp's hobbies are barbecueing, indoor
rock climbing, open water scuba and
going to the beach.
