Why Trevor?
Trevor has remained a close friend since college given weāve overlapped living in both NYC and LA. Trevor and his wife Meg have two, kids Merritt and Davis. He recently bought a photography business (Shoot & Share) and if he has free time outside of work and family time, he is a decent golfer but an excellent intramural 7-on-7 football player. Lastly, Iāll note that this is from the Rambull āvaultā. Trevor was kind enough to be one of the first profiles on Rambull and it was too good not to re-share. I was reminded of his recommendations when I recently read City of Thieves (it is excellent).

Trevorās Recommendations
Written in his own wordsā¦
City of Thieves: Going with a book here, as I donāt watch enough TV or Movies to give a differentiated recommendation. Written by David Benioff, the screenwriter for Game of Thrones this oneās a gripping account of an adventurous and enterprising young boy behind the walls during the German blockade of St. Petersburg. Awesome historical fiction from WW2 theater in which the U.S. wasnāt a protagonistāsomething to expand our narrow American perspective.
Bidet: Completely life changing. A bit of TMIāI dealt with some real dryness down there before I made the leap. It was really inconvenientā¦and itchy. Not a great look to be scratching all the time. The warm stream is very weird at first but it grows on you. Say goodbye to wiping 3 and 4 timesā¦perfect clean every time. And the heated seat is a real treat in the winter.
Red Cross Blood Donation App: Covid has catalyzed a blood shortage crisis ā the biggest in over a decade. Go give blood!
Bullet Journal: Picked it up 5 or 6 years ago and it revolutionized the way I organized my day-to-day. Easy to start with the basic framework and evolve it to suit your needs over time. Highly recommend for compulsive organizers.
Benedict Evans Newsletter: Ben Thompson (Stratechery newsletter) would have been mine, but Iāll drop a different tech analyst. Benedict requires 20 minutes a week for all you need to know in tech. Bonus for his English wit.
Stretch Lab: Regular stretching has saved my back. To me, facilitated stretching is 10x better than a massage.
Thank you, Trevor!
