Hi, I'm Trent. I go to Georgia Tech (GT) (go jackets!) where I'm majoring in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering. After I graduate, hopefully by the fall of 2010, I am hoping to either go to grad school for Masters in Engineering Management or a PhD in Chemical Engineering or Chemistry, maybe even both a masters and a PhD. As you can tell, I have no desire to get out into the real world and have to start worrying about all of life's problems. I will probably spend the rest of my life in school so that I never have to get a real job. Post-doc work perhaps?? I love learning and have many areas of interest that I enjoy. I could easily be a full time student the rest of my life and still never take all the classes that I'd want to.
I have over 400 logged dives, most coming from multiple trips to Key Largo, Cozumel, Cancun, Grand Cayman, Barbados, Turks and Caicos, Grand Bahamas, and other tropical locations. If I have to wear a wetsuit then I don't dive. I like nice, warm water where just a bathing suit does the job. Not much of a deep dive guy. An ideal dive consists of a nice slow current for drift diving of warm water at 30-70 ft. This allows for optimal oxygen consumption, warm water, little work (drift dive) and a good variety of sea life and coral. I tend to dive extremely close the bottom because I enjoy finding little forms of life and examining how they interact within their own tiny ecosystem. After a while a shark and angelfish gets old just swimming around eating, you can see that on the Discovery Channel, but it's the little things that are never understood.
In my little spare time I enjoy working on my 2 show trucks with my Dad, as well as attending car shows. I have a 1998 Ford 150 and a 1986 Isuzu PUP Spacecab. You can find more info on both of them here http://streetsourcemag.com/im/viewuser.aspx?id=Layumon22s My F150 has been shot for the print magazines Sport Truck and Street Trucks and the internet magazine, Gauge Magazine (www.gaugemagazine.com). All of the features should be running towards the middle of '09. I am also a member of Alpha Chi Sigma, the professional chemistry fraternity as well as the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. Any free time left after my truck, my girlfriend and trying to pass classes goes to these 2 organizations.
