Joined 11 April 2007

My name is Phil Konstantin. My "user name" is listed as Philkon.

I retired on April 2, 2016. From April 10, 2016 to September 29, 2017, I traveled around the country in a small trailer visiting 45 states in the process. You can see my photos and videos at:

From March 25, 2013 through April 1, 2016, I worked for Total Traffic. My job was as their helicopter reporter doing breaking news & traffic. My reports were heard on KFMB. My video could have been seen on almost all TV stations in San Diego.

I also worked at KUSI-TV in San Diego (May 2005 to May 2010). As a part of my job, I met many people listed in Wikipedia. I almost always took photos of these people and added them to Wikipedia (if a more appropriate photo was not already in use). I posted all of these photos on my KUSI website at:

Images of me with some of the famous people I have met & taken photos of

I have added several photos of me with famous people. This is to prove to some Wikipedia editors that I really do meet and work with famous people and take their photos. I hope this will keep them from deleting my photos because they think they were copied, screen shots or stolen.
