In high school, Trevor was involved in many sports and clubs throughout the school.

Upon graduation Trevor decided to attend Carl Sandburg Community College in Galesburg, IL to play basketball. The basketball coach also happened to be the golf coach for the school. The men’s golf team needed an additional player for the season and while Trevor never played golf in high school it was something he always wanted to do. This decision ultimately led to Trevor playing both golf and basketball at Carl Sandburg.
Trevor developed a passion for the game of golf and ended up receiving a scholarship to play for Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville, TN. During his time in Nashville, Trevor competed at the NCAA D2 level for men’s golf, helped start and organize the first school bass fishing team at the University, and helped manage properties for whitetail deer and turkey hunting for Nashville Hunt Club.

After eventually graduating from Tiffin University Trevor then moved back to Kewanee, IL.

Having recently made the decision to exit the golf business Trevor is looking forward to pursuing a career involving the outdoors. During his free time Trevor enjoys spending time with friends and family, hunting and fishing, and competing in golf events.
