Hello there! I'm Trevor Thorsen, a relentlessly enthusiastic adventurer at heart who now finds his thrill in the dynamic world of sales.
Picture this: fresh out of university, a shiny degree in Computer Animation and Visual Effects in hand, and I quickly realized it wasn't my jam. The industry, with its confined cubicles and limited freedom, just didn't gel with my wild spirit craving adventure. So, at 22, off I went to Bali, Indonesia, with a friend, and a dream.
My 20s was a whirlwind of trying different hats in different corners of the globe. Event coordinator in bustling restaurants, freelance digital branding artist, startup enthusiast, English teacher, you name it! I embarked on this journey to gain worldly experience and ended up refining a skill I now hold dear - the art of communication. From Amsterdam to Chiang Mai, from the San Francisco Bay Area to Bangkok, I connected with people of every walk of life, building rapport and fostering relationships.
My adventures were not without turbulence, though. I took a detour, circling back to the United States, and felt a need to reset. Overweight and directionless, I dedicated myself to a complete transformation. I dropped 80 pounds of fat and gained 30 pounds of muscle within eight months. And the real win? I learned discipline, mastered the art of delayed gratification, and understood the power of hard work reaping great results.
Parallelly, I quenched my thirst for knowledge by diving into literature on stoicism and mindset, and I also started exploring different business models. Inspired, I launched my first real venture - an ecommerce brand. Although it's no longer active, the experience was priceless. It made me believe in the power of sales.
Once I had tasted the thrill of sales, I pursued it headlong. I sold personal training, a product I wholeheartedly believe in, and every sale felt like helping someone transform their life, just like I did. Each day, I learn more about sales, hone my skills, and apply them, helping me excel in my career.
I have an insatiable thirst to become the best version of myself, to inspire, motivate, and create an impact. I aim to be a world-class communicator, a top-notch salesman, and in the best physical shape possible. And yes, I still want to travel the world, leaving a trail of inspiration along the way.
In the realm of hobbies, physical fitness is my main squeeze. I make it a point to work out and learn something new about fitness every single day. I also find it exhilarating to understand the mind's workings and gain control over my decisions and actions. But I'm not all work, no play! I love playing poker with friends, scuba diving, mountain climbing, motorbike racing, and fire eating. Basically, anything outdoors or adrenaline-pumping, count me in!
So, that's me - a professional with an adventurous streak, a man who knows the value of discipline and the power of communication, a lifelong learner who's determined to leave his mark on the world. I hope we get the chance to work together and share our journeys to becoming the best versions of ourselves.
