Early life
Philip Robert Eisner was born on August 23, 1965, in Fort Worth, Texas. He has an older brother and sister. His father, Thomas M. Eisner (1931–19921), was a real-estate developer and former president of the Windmill Dinner Theater; he died at age 60 in February 1992 from injuries sustained in a skiing accident at Taos Ski Valley, New Mexico. The loss affected Eisner, who had just begun writing Event Horizon, making it difficult for him to maintain momentum on the project. He grew up in Fort Worth and graduated from Fort Worth Country Day School. He later earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communication from Stanford University.
