Born in the country Victoria town of Tallangatta, Trevor grew up in Benalla, in the state's north east. The town's close proximity to the Winton Motor Raceway gave the young Trevor the chance to pursue his love of the Blue Oval brand.
Always a Ford fan, Trevor followed the exploits of Moffat, Goss and Bond, et al at Winton and the old Hume Weir circuit.
Benalla's excellent gliding centre provided Trevor with the means to develop his interest in aircraft and, after completing secondary school, he went on to complete a Bachelor of Aeronautical Engineering degree from the Royal Melbourne institute of Technology, in 1984.
Trevor joined Ford Australia as a product planner in 1985 and held various positions associated with the Laser and Telstar carlines.
It was during this period he built a Mazda RX3 coupe, with help from some friends, to compete in the Victorian Road Registered Racing Championship.
In 1989 Trevor moved to Taiwan for a one-year stint in a planning / program management role.
On his return to Australia he spent time as a design engineer working on Ford's heavy truck and light truck lines. He likened this era to having his own personal life-size meccano set.
From there Trevor moved on to a design supervision role on the SE Capri program, with responsibility for Chassis and Driveline, IP and seats.
In 1993 he completed an MBA in International Business at Monash University.
He joined the manufacturing team at Broadmeadows plant in a launch engineering leadership role with EF Falcon, focusing on interior and exterior trim, followed by his appointment to the position as Quality Assurance Manager for the Broadmeadows plant with responsibility for all quality matters.
Trevor moved back into the product development fold with a role as PD timing and prototype build manager. During this period, Ford Australia product development began its understanding and adoption of FPDS (Ford Product development System). Next came a role as Test Operations Manager with responsibility for the Ford Proving Ground, and test laboratories.
Trevor then moved to Ford US headquarters in Detroit in August 1998, to take up a role as the North American Car Fuel Systems engineering manager. The position had responsibility for fuel system storage and delivery for the Mustang, Lincoln LS, Thunderbird, Taurus, Windstar and the Panther platform vehicles.
He returned to Ford Australia in February 2000, to take up his current position as Falcon Carline Director. The position has overall responsibility for current and future programs off the Falcon platform. The position has specific responsibility for the engineering design, CAE validation and all staff functions associated with the management of Falcon-based programs. The position also assumes overall responsibility for the total delivery of all elements of programs - such as Barra from concept to the final customer.
Trevor is married to Robin and they have two sons. The family enjoys cycling, travel and bushwalking.
