Hello Philip, it’s such a pleasure talking to you. Can you tell our readers a little about yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hey Men and underwear and all readers. I have been modelling for many years now, so I would like to start by saying \u201cThank You\u201d to everyone who has stuck around and supported me all this time. Besides modelling, I am a personal trainer, lifestyle coach, and underwear model. I do private bartending on the side and I just love to enjoy the fruits of life as much as possible. My favourite hobby is laying on a beach or enjoying a water sport. I am currently writing this in my underwear, on my couch, while enjoying my favourite protein shake.<\/em><\/p>\n

How did you start modelling?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I started modelling when I was 17, discovered through my Myspace.com profile (which is almost an obsolete social media platform now).<\/em><\/p>\n

What was your best experience as a model?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Traveling around the world has to be the greatest reward of this career. I think Australia was my biggest job for DNA magazine and I loved every minute of it. But I still remember when I got my first magazine cover and what my reaction was when that happened. I think my reaction was jumping up and screaming with excitement<\/em><\/p>\n

Where do you see yourself in 5 years from today?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fat and eating candy bars! Just kidding. Currently I am in school in the pursuit of my Masters in Occupational Therapy, so I\u2019ll hopefully be in a career utilising those skills in the future.<\/em><\/p>\n

Time to talk underwear! How often do you shop for underwear?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am completely obsessive compulsive when it comes to buying underwear. I must have fresh socks as well as underwear, so I am constantly purchasing.<\/em><\/p>\n

What is your favourite underwear style and colour?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love underwear that has a nice tight fit in blue, red, or white.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sounds a bit silly to ask this to an underwear brand owner but I have to! Do you have any favourite brands?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Other than Philcity, my\u00a0next \u201cgo to\u201d brand is Calvin Klein.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thank you Philip! All the best of luck in everything you do!<\/strong><\/p>\n
