After high school, Trent joined the U.S. Navy in 1962 and during his service, he married and began raising a family in Los Angeles. In 1966, Trent was honorably discharged from the Navy with the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal and he returned to Los Angeles where he began a long career with Continental Airlines, fueling his love of aircraft and open skies.

In 1981, Trent met the love of his life, Janet, and they married in 1984.
