Philip de Franco - Personal Life

Personal Life

Philip Franchina was born in The Bronx, New York, United States. His known biological father is Garrett Dick, and he has a step mother who works at a car dealership. He has been a student at the University of South Florida, a biology student at Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College, and later a junior at East Carolina University. He currently lives with his girlfriend Lindsay Jordan Doty and their two Yorkshire Terriers Rookie and Ace. In 2007 Phil was living in Florida, but more recently Atlanta. He also worked as a waiter in a number of restaurants while making videos in 2007. DeFranco lived in a car until moving back with his father in Tampa, Florida, on condition that he would return to college which he later failed to do. He is a libertarian, and announced he would vote for Gary Johnson in the 2012 U.S. presidential election. DeFranco has stated that he is agnostic. DeFranco has polycystic kidney disease which he inherited from his father and grandfather, and his family has a history of it.

Now, I consider my self agnostic, because I'm lazy. I love football on Sundays but I live on Pacific Standard Time. I hate arguing about anything that can't be proven or disproven with the scientific method, and I find that I live just a generally more happy life when I don't think about those things.
