Please join us in welcoming Trevin Sorby as the new Site Manager for Fort Bliss, TX. Trevin originally hails from Fredericksburg, Virginia, where he spent his adolescence. His father was a Police Officer in Northern Virginia and a United States Marine Corps veteran, and his mother was an Accountant for a large non-profit organization. There was always an emphasis on serving his country and community, so in 2013, he joined the United States Army and proudly served for the next nine years. While in the military, he was stationed in various places such as El Paso, Texas; Honolulu, Hawaii; and Colorado Springs, Colorado. In 2022, he earned the rank of Sergeant First Class and was medically retired a few months later. When his service in the Army was over, he and his family moved to Orlando, Florida, but after six months, he decided to move to his wife's native city of El Paso to pursue a better childhood for their children. Trevin still aspired to continue serving his country and community and accepted a job as a contractor for the Customs and Border Patrol, where he served as a supervisor for the security department in one of their camps housing asylum-seeking migrants. Trevin holds an Associate's Degree in Management and expects to complete his Bachelor's in 2024. He aspires to pursue his Master's Degree in Project Management next year and continue to grow and develop his knowledge and education. He has a wife, Amber, a native of El Paso, and two daughters, Adeline and Audrina. Welcome to Phoenix, Trevin!
