He was a member of the National Honors Society, has more than 165 hours of community service,  was team captain in Cross Country and varsity Track and Field, participated in band, served as a student mentor to incoming underclassmen, and maintained seven semesters of a 4.0 GPA.

Trevor plans to enter a four-year college to pursue degrees in finance and political science. He hopes to be an elected official in Grafton after he graduates college. He believes in giving back to the community and wants to serve a growing constituency where their voices and opinions are at the forefront of issues. 02159
