About Trevor
A start with the marines
Trevor began his K9 career in the Marine Corps in 2006. At the Military Police Academy, Trevor was among only a handful of nearly eighty Marines selected to attend the Military Working Dog (MWD) Handlers Course. His dedication, professionalism, and pursuit of excellence led to him being chosen to become a Combat Tracking Dog (CTD) handler, which up until that time, had not been a program since the Vietnam War.
Successful missions
The CTD Teams mission was to re-establish contact with the enemy by tracking the paths of travel the enemy moved along. This included re-establishing contact after enemy ambushes and IED strikes and developing intelligence on enemy movements and operations. During his training as a CTD handler, Trevor partnered with the dog that would accompany him to fight in South West Asia. During multiple combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, Trevor’s efforts on his deployments led to successful disruptions of enemy operations and the capture of numerous enemy high-value targets and combatants.
Trevor's Experience
On to the Dept. of State
After leaving the Marine Corps in 2011, Trevor returned to Afghanistan as a working dog trainer contracted by the Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service. At the height of the war in Afghanistan, Trevor trained and advanced seventy-five dog teams that were dedicated to protecting the United States’ diplomatic mission in the hostile country.
On to the Dept. of DefenSe
After completing his contractual obligations in 2013, Trevor volunteered to return to Afghanistan in 2014 for the Department of Defense as an Explosive Detection Dog (EDD) Trainer. As a civilian contractor, Trevor was attached to special operations forces and helped secure a compound vital to counterterrorism and counter-narcotic operations theater-wide. After five years of deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, the opportunity to continue to follow his passion for training and handling dogs presented itself stateside.
Pivoting to civilian work
On to Homeland Security
Trevor became a handler with the Department of Homeland Security’s National Explosives Detection Canine Team Program. There he handled, and trained dogs to mitigate threats of terrorism to the American public and transportation infrastructure.
Joining the Police FOrce
In the summer of 2019, Trevor became a police sergeant at a police department near Huntsville, Alabama. There he was responsible for the training of all police K9s as well as their handlers in subject apprehension, drug detection, explosives detection, and tracking.
