Trent's Story

Chief Financial Officer, Graduate Business School Professor and Philanthropist for the Spinal Cord Injury community

A spinal cord injury changes your life in one second.

Trent’s story of walking after being paralyzed is amazing. His inspirational speeches deliver a message of hope and resiliency with tenderness and humor.

He inspires, motivates, and moves audiences through personal narrative, business anecdotes, and his riotous humor. Trent is a Chief Financial Officer, graduate school Professor of business strategy, and activist for the Spinal Cord Injury Community. Following an accident that left him paralyzed, Trent created a foundation to provide durable medical goods for spinal cord-injured patients and funded the foundation through an unprecedented backstroke swim in the Atlantic Ocean. Trent’s work as a leadership training speaker has been highlighted on radio, newspaper, television and throughout the internet.

Most recently, Trent swam the English Channel and was recognized in Sports Illustrated for his record 41-mile swim circumnavigating Aquidneck Island (Newport, RI). 

“The events of the past only shape who we are, they do not predict our future. The die is never cast. I am an Explorer of Change. And, Explorers of Change search only for tomorrow.”

Why Trent?

Trent’s personal why –“I swim because I got out of the wheelchair.  I swim for those that cannot.”   Trent delivers this level of passion to his clients as he navigates them through financial, operational and leadership issues.  

“Trent didn’t give us a speech. Trent delivered an experience.”

- Tamara Dominick, Senior Director, Head of B2B eCommerce Marketing, The LEGO Group
