He quickly immersed himself in learning about home medical equipment maintenance and repair and became involved in the community as an advocate for people with disabilities. In 2017, he left MEDIchair and started his own company, Adapt Mobility, which is currently one of Medicine Hat’s largest home medical equipment suppliers. Trevor is the founder of the Medicine Hat Soap Box Derby, is involved in his local Army Cadet program and is also an enlistee with the Canadian Armed Forces.
