Bio

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia 2011: Climbing to the top of the iconic and mammoth Harbor Bridge in a driving rainstorm at twilight and finding majestic views of the famed Opera House, the skyline, and the waterways, runs par for the course for the Ling family which routinely bumbles and stumbles its way onto breathtaking destinations.

This entire website hardly serves as sufficient biographical summation for Trent Ling, who constantly insists that more and more remains to be done and disseminated.  But, for those seeking the shorter, quicker rundown, this Bio Page offers Trent’s unorthodox and enduring resume below.  It documents that Trent has steadfastly continued to be whatever he ever became, even as he has vigorously annexed fresh pursuits across the years.

The whole of this website provides insights and sneak peaks into a man whose ideas have seemingly always multiplied as if his cranium were a bag of overheating corn kernels!

In addition to this Bio Page, Trent’s other social sites (see linked buttons on the Home Page) remain fully open and accessible to the public.

With that said, enjoy the wild ride through Trent’s resume:
