About
Phil Olsen is the founder and self-appointed captain of Beard Team USA. He attended his first World Beard and Moustache Championships in Ystad, Sweden, in 1999. Noticing that the sport of bearding brings people together but that America was underrepresented, he embarked on a twin crusade to bring the sport to American and the world and to establish the USA an international facial hair powerhouse.
In 2003, he introduced the sport to America when he organized the worlds held in Carson City, Nevada. In 2009, Beard Team USA succeeded in knocking of Germany for the first time ever as the leading power in international bearding
Competition? He is a perennial also-ran at the worlds, but he won “best beard” at the 2007 Joyce Daze Beard Contest and “blackest beard” at the 2007 Nevada Day Beard contest. During the Eisenhower Administration, he took second place at the annual spelling bee in Mrs. Oakley’s fifth grade class.

Dear Capn Olsen,
Me and my younger brother would like to enquire about beginning us a chapter on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Looks like the next closest local enterprise is Baltimore, a fair deal off at about 150 miles. We don’t travel yon that much.
We got us here lots a dedicated moustaches and beards. Most of them in our extended Prescott family here no less. Our cousin Wade and Uncle Clensel being but a few. Dare I mention Aunt Gussey.
Kindly yours,
Jack and Bobby – the Prescott Brothers
Dear Phil,
Sir I don’t reckon I mean to bug you much but me and my brother Jack are really getting the itch on this here club. I made my way to this here machine to respectfuly ask how we may start our own bearding club, my brother and I and our kin. Well, I best be getting back to tending those boilers. Hope this finds yours well,
Bobby Prescott III
To start your own local chapter, just email team captain, Phil Olsen.

G’Day Phil,
Greetings from South Australia! I am sure you are asking yourself – what’s this? However we have met – at the Championships in Anchorage in 2009 – we were with the bunch of hangers on that came with the “Beards” (who will be doing other things next May and will not be able to make it to Trondheim).
Will you be at Trondheim next May? It will be great to see you again.
Bye for now,
Graeme Drewett.
I want to have sex with your beard!
You are my hero!!!!
