Phillip was nominated for the Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) award for 2012 Drummer of the Year, but lost to the drummer of the award show's house band. Investigation is underway.

While living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, he co-founded Good Land Records in late 2010.[2]

JP played drums for Josh Berwanger on a Midwest tour in Spring 2014. In June, September, and October 2014, he toured the U.S. with the Paul Collins Beat. In January 2015, he joined Trapper Schoepp & The Shades on drums for a west coast tour opening for The Jayhawks.

In late 2017, Jon started Mini Meltdowns, a punk band featuring himself and Scott Schoenbeck from Dashboard Confessional, and The Promise Ring. The band's self-titled 7" was released on 4/20/18 on Good Land Records. The band features Jon on Guitar and lead vocals for the first time, as well as drumming duties.

gollark: Intel really do not like sane naming schemes.
gollark: That's Comet Lake, so the iGPU will be worse than on the Ice Lake one.
