In 1973 Trevor enrolled in Business Studies at Swinburne Institute of Technology in Melbourne. He spent the year playing pool and watching films and failing Business Studies. Terrified at the prospect of getting a job he then enrolled in and completed a degree in Economics at La Trobe University. Forestalling his real interests, he worked as an accountant for Coca-Cola AMATIL until 1986, when he took up the position of Finance Manager at the Australian Children's Television Foundation. In 1993 he left the ACTF to work as a freelance Production Accountant with a view to producing his own films.
As an accountant he has worked on nearly 30 films including Three Dollars, Chopper, The Last of the Ryans, My Brother Jack, Crackerjack and After the Deluge. In 2002, nearly 30 years after missing an Accounting 101 lecture to go and see Play It Again Sam, he produced his first film, a short feature called Roy Höllsdotter Live.
He was financing and developing a television series called Bad Debts, written by the multi-award winning crime novelist Peter Temple, featuring the character Jack Irish. His next feature is called Rams To The Slaughter , written by Marieke Hardy.
