Phillip, a native South Carolinian, grew up “a son of a preacher-man” and felt the call to ministry at a young age. He initially attended Campbell University in Buies Creek, NC, but through a series of events too involved to describe here, he graduated in 2006 with a degree in Christian Ministry from Anderson University in Anderson, SC, and spent some time at Gardner Webb School of Divinity before leaving to pursue his calling into worship leading/church planting.
Phillip spent seven years as a student pastor before becoming a worship leader. His passions in life are Clemson sports, movies, music, and occasionally a little XBOX. He is not married (yet) but he does have a dog…a Rat Terrier named George.
