With his engineering expertise and wealth of IT and HIPAA knowledge, Trent has led the charge on many of Umbrella’s service initiatives. He served as the original architect for Umbrella’s Healthcare IT (HIT) program that made Umbrella a leading expert in this territory.

Personal

Trent loves all things Kansas City, including the Royals, the Chiefs and, of course, Kansas City BBQ! Trent enjoys spending his free time with his wife and family, and weekends are usually full attending soccer games and ice skating recitals for his two kids.
