Born in Ohio. Moved to Western NY when I was 13. Went to small, public school. Played basketball in high school – I sucked! All I ever wanted to do was ride dirt bikes. My dad was the preacher in the local Baptist Church. I started to rebel when I was around 16 or so and started to drink and carry on a bit. I went to Cedarville College after high school on an Army ROTC scholarship. I changed my major and lost the free ride – so I quit and went active duty! During my stint in the Army, I drank some more – but then returned to the faith of my youth: the Baptist Church. After I got out of the Army in 1995, I finished college and moved to Ohio. I started working at Enterprise Rent-A-Car. At that point, I pretty much gave up on God and church. I tried so hard to be a good Christian and it was either boring, or I just couldn’t do it. So – party on.

After 4 years with ERAC, I realized that my job wasn’t satisfying and thought, “If I could do anything in the world, what would it be?” The answer was in dirt bikes! So, I applied to the Big 4 Japanese companies and must have tricked somebody at Yamaha – because they hired me! They moved me to TN in 2001 where I still live today. At that time, I really chased the party scene. I lived wild, drank and chased women. I did start dating one particular girl and I fell in love. But, we did things on our terms and the relationship sparked for only a year. About the time things were falling apart, we found out she was pregnant. We tried to keep it together – but no avail. About the time my son was born in March, 2006 – I hit my knees and said, “Alright God. I’ve tried it my way. I’ve wrecked my life. I have nothing to give you. I know I can’t make my life better – and I’m not even sure if I could make it worse! My life is yours…do as you will.” And from that moment, God has really taken hold of my heart. Christianity is no longer boring! I love Jesus Christ with all my heart.

I wish I could say it was peaches, roses, cream or whatever – but following Jesus Christ was not and is not as simple as church-goers often make it to be. About 6 months after I hit my knees, God made it evident that I was “allergic” to alcohol. I went through treatment and by the grace of God, I haven’t had a drink since the fall of 2006. Being a single dad and only getting to see my son every-other-weekend is no piece of cake, either. But, again by the grace of God – I’m managing and loving it! That little boy is a true blessing and joy in my life. God promised the rouge nation Israel that when they returned to him, he would restore the wasted years. Through Trevor – my wasted years are being restored tenfold!

I “retired” from Yamaha in 2010 became a full-time Pit Pastor with Team Faith. We travel the country to race the Pro-Arenacross series, Supercross, X-Games and more. I wear many hats. Sometimes I am Team Manager, Pit Pastor, Mechanic or Waterboy! I also race the GNCC Series where I am the full-time Pit Pastor…sharing strength and encouragement! God is great!
