Author Biography
Phil Olson grew up in Edina, Minnesota, home of the first indoor mall. His father’s grandparents came over from Norway and homesteaded a farm north of Fargo, North Dakota. His mother’s grandparents also came over from Norway and ended up in Virginia, Minnesota; the iron range. Phil went on to Dartmouth College where he majored in mathematics, was All Ivy, All New England and All East in Track, and played tight end on the Ivy League Championship Football team. After graduating from Dartmouth, Phil tried out for the Chicago Bears. After his experience with Walter Payton and the Bears, he went on to receive an MBA from The University of Chicago and pursued a business career while writing stage and screenplays. Phil currently lives in Los Angeles where he is a stockbroker during market hours and a writer after the closing bell. He’s written three national award-winning plays, all set in small towns in Minnesota. As a script doctor, he’s re-written three movies that have been produced, as well as eleven original screenplays. He also wrote for a television series that aired on Romania One Television, another that was picked up by E! Television, and was hired to write, "Hooters: The Movie," based on the delightfully tacky, yet unrefined restaurant chain. His screenplay, "Reform School Girls," a comedy spoof of prison movies, was recently purchased by TAG Entertainment. Visit Phil online at www.philolson.net.
