Trent is a regular guy. He grew up in Arkansas, is a huge Razorback fan, and went to undergrad at William Jewell College in Kansas City, Missouri. He is a 2013 graduate of the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry, where his claim to fame was cementing a post on a tooth that he hadn't obturated yet. Trent hated dentistry during his first year after graduation, but has spent the last few years figuring out how to do and enjoy dentistry. He opened his own startup dental office in March 2016 in Northwest Arkansas, and while he doesn't exactly know what he's doing with his own business, he's winging it alright and learning on the job. He's just a regular average guy having a good time figuring out this dental gig. His new claim to fame is being the least distinguished person to ever be interviewed by Howard Farran. www.MintDentalAR.com
