Trevor has been deeply involved in music his entire life, engaging in many different aspects of the business. Working one on one with musicians of all kinds as a specialist at his father's guitar store taught him not only equipment knowledge, but what it takes to become successful in the industry. His love for music as a whole led to his extreme passion for recording. Whether it was session work, teaching, or performing in bands his main interest was in the recording/production process. Several classes, as well as working with producers such as John Raymond (Guitarist for Kenny G/Accomplished engineer and producer), Roger Smith (Tower of Power/Jazz Rocco), or Fastbacks own Jason Lackie have provided Trevor with the ability and experience to go far in the industry.
