Trevor first jumped at Labertouche on the 31st of July 1966. Trevor was a member of the "The Kelly Gang" 10-Man Star Team in the 2nd Australian Relative Work Championships at Labertouche 1973/74. He was a regular jumper at the Centre through 1976.
One of the movers and shakers in sport parachuting, Trevor organised the 6th Australian Parachute Championships at Port Pirie in 1965/66
He was Editor and Publisher of Australian Skydiver magazine from 1965 to 1970. The magazine was a significant factor in the development of Australian Skydiving.
After a long stint as an APF Board Member and involvement in Australia's first large dedicated jumpship (the DC-3 VH-CAN) he joined the Department of Civil Aviation as a Sport Aviation Inspector and eventually became its Regional Director of New South Wales.
On retiring from the Department, he has enjoyed sailing his yacht and is now settled on the coast in Queensland.
