Bio

Trevor was raised in Djarindjn/Lombadina by his parents and spent much of his childhood living a traditional lifestyle. Trevor briefly attended high school in Perth but returned home due to homesickness, completing his education at Nulungu College in Broome.

He has lived and worked across the Peninsula for most of his life and continues to reside there with his family. Currently, Trevor serves as one of the senior Bardi Jawi Rangers, a role he has held for 18 years. His work as a Ranger has opened many doors and deepened his commitment to cultural responsibilities. As a senior, Trevor values acknowledgment and respect as central to his life and his role within Bardi customs.
