- Bio
Prior to Cornell: Trevor fenced at the Rochester Fencing Club under the tutelage of Nat Goodhartz. He began fencing when he was eight years old, and started fencing on the national circuit the following year.
At Cornell: Trevor fences both Foil and Saber. During his freshman season, he fenced only saber at MACFA meets. Despite it being his secondary weapon, he still made a strong contribution to the team. Overall, he had a winning record of .59. At MACFA Championships he swept C-Strip saber and made it to the individual round. In the 2010 season, Trevor switched back to foil, earning a much stronger season record of 30-6 (.833). At MACFA Championships, he placed 7th in the individual tournament and was a member of the gold medaling foil squad.
Personal: Trevor is a junior in the College of Engineering. He can be counted on to enjoy a good jam session with his bass guitar, a good swim (he swims at Helen Newman on fencing off-days), or to spend a perfectly viable Saturday night playing Dungeons and Dragons. He has been likened to both Marvel’s Wolverine and Street Fighter’s Colonel Guile. He is currently learning Capoeira, and enjoys talking about his feelings to attractive women.
