Career
He joined the band in late 2005 to play trombone in the place of Ryan Dallas Cook who died on October 19, 2005 in a hit-and-run accident. Phillip went on to record with the band on their European Parliament Dance Like Nobody"s Watching, released May 12, 2006. Just as the band was about to start touring on the Fall of Ska Tour in late October with Westbound Train, Streetlight Manifesto, and Reel Big Fish it was rumoured that Phillip had left the band, due to his picture being taken off the bands MySpace and their website.
He was not seen playing with the band on the tour and although no official announcement was ever made, he is no longer with the band.
He now teaches music at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado as the band director
