Ever since Trevor was a kid, he’s always known what he’s wanted to do. He has always enjoyed entertaining audiences, as well as his family and friends, whether it was through videos, filmmaking, or live performances and he’s grown up with a passion to work in the film industry.

From the time span of elementary to college, Trevor took a few acting and voice acting classes, performed in many stage shows, improv shows, and short films, and he took up an interest in directing and videography along the way. He is currently majoring in film studying cinema, television, and radio at Saddleback College.

Due to his social skills and videography work, Trevor has found a way to surround himself with film industry professionals and network with the people he’s always looked up to and dreamed of working with. He started as a videographer for DisneyExaminer in 2015 and since then has filmed countless special events for Disneyland, Walt Disney Studios, The Oscars, ASIFA Hollywood, The Annie Awards and more. Because of his drive for his passion and his connection with Disney and other industry friends, Trevor has also been able to do some personal work for people that he’s admired such as Richard M. Sherman (The Sherman Brothers), Tevin Campbell (“A Goofy Movie”), and more. He also earned himself the role of Dick Van Dyke’s (“Mary Poppins”) personal videographer for his shows and events.

When Trevor isn’t running around filming events, Trevor loves writing and coming up with new ideas for personal projects and short films that he’d like to accomplish in the near future when the time comes around. In his free time, you can find Trevor napping in his bed, enjoying trips to Disneyland, and spending time with his friends, family, and girlfriend.
