Early Life
Yip went to high school in northern Virginia at McLean High School in the class of 1986. He originally set out with the goal of becoming a karate master, as his parents felt it would be a good career for him. After earning two degrees, just prior to entering his pre-medicine program, he changed his mind, and decided to get into architecture. Yip states he would have been quite happy running a design company, and never intended to become a television personality, but he's very pleased with the new show, and he felt it was what he was meant to do. Yip received his bachelors in economics from the University of Virginia, and a masters in management and architecture from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
