Member-only story
Phillip Robinson, also known as Phenom. From Durham, North Carolina.
I’m an entrepreneur with many skills. My journey started at 14 when I developed my love for working in live sports production which developed my love for storytelling. For the past six years I’ve traveled up and down the east coast helping people capture once in a lifetime moments.
