Trevor also competes for the Carson High School tennis and swim teams, qualifying for regional competitions in both sports.
After school and during the summer, Trevor spends a lot of time with the youth, both in Carson City and out. In 2012 he spent the summer working as a merit badge instructor and camp counselor. He’s a lifeguard and swim instructor for Carson City and also tutors students in the elementary schools. Trevor is an avid outdoorsman, spending much of his free time hiking, bicycling and hunting.
