He was a history buff with keen knowledge of multicultural historicism, as well as pop culture. He loved old movies and music from past decades. Trent was a gifted self-taught musician, inherited from family. He played the trombone in high school and in the University of Florida Gator Band. In his twenties, he enjoyed playing his horn and singing in his band, "Tone Unknown," that was popular with locals of Gainesville, Florida. He supplemented his music income with restaurant jobs where he developed cooking and restaurant management experience which he utilized the majority of his career.
