About

Phil Olsen is the founder and self-appointed captain of Beard Team USA. His first WBMC was in Ystad, Sweden, in 1999. Noticing that the event was dominated by the Germans who invented the game and that United States was underrepresented, he dedicated himself to making the USA a powerhouse in international facial hair competitions.

In 2003, he organized the worlds held in Carson City, Nevada.

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.

    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

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,

    Phil Olsen is a great guy and very worthy captain. I have only spoken with him briefly over e-mail but I felt like I was talking to a huge celebrity each time. Thank you Mr. Oslen for creating such a glorious movement of Beards and Beer!
