Robinson joined North Greenville for his first collegiate coaching role in October of 2024.

During his tenure at Greenville High School, Robinson mentored several event state champions, including a three-time champion girls 4x100-meter relay team and a 4x400-meter relay state runner-up squad. He also coached individual state champions in the 100-meter and 400-meter events, along with three state runners-up in the 100-meter and 200-meter races.

In his first season with the Trailblazers, Robinson guided the women's track and field team to a second-place finish at the Conference Carolinas Championships in the spring of 2025, marking the best finish in program history. Robinson is USA Track & Field Level 1 certified and is a native of Greenville, South Carolina. He is a graduate of Southside High School and spent 10 years as the sprints and relays coach at Greenville High School.

Robinson's wife, Brittany, is a 2008 graduate of North Greenville University and was a member of Joyful Sound. The couple has three daughters—Bre'Asia, Braelyn, and Brooklyn. Bre'Asia is currently enrolled at NGU and competes as a sprinter on the Track & Field team.
