Born in Barrow in Furness, in the North of England, Philip's working life began in the hotel business. Ten years later he took a position working on offshore oil rigs in the North Sea and began a career that spanned over thirty years operating projects across three continents. The end of the Iraq War in 2003 took Philip to Baghdad, where he directed the operations and project management of multiple accommodation bases for the American Coalition. His career culminated in the Emirates where he ran a couple of oil services companies in Dubai, Qatar & Kuwait.

After working all over the world Philip returned to Barrow where he now lives with his family. He began writing after retirement in 2015 and his first novel, PICNIC IN IRAQ, was published in summer 2015. All Philip's novels are fictitious adventure thrillers
