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.
