Trent's focused on bridging the gap between traditional aerospace and new-age innovation. Starting his career in aeronautics with ASET Dive into Space, he developed underwater Neutral Buoyancy education programs. While then working on more in-depth commercial astronautics training he began to build the next generation of accessible pressure suits and life support systems with Smith Aerospace Garments. These endeavors further led him to high altitude manned balloon flight tests and oversight of pressure suit operations. He has since co-authored and published in Purdue’s peer-review journal, Human Performance in Extreme Environments, and presented on numerous occasions regarding low-cost life support systems for exploration and training. He currently resides in Tucson Arizona helping develop the world's highest fidelity hermetically sealed research habitat, SAM (Space Analog for the Moon and Mars), at the University of Arizona’s Biosphere 2.
