First Lieutenant Michael Trent

• Military Branch: Marine Corps
• Hometown: Ft. Wayne, IN
• Institution: University of Michigan
• Degree/Major: Master of Business Administration

Driven by a desire for public service and deeply affected by the events of September 11, 2001, First Lieutenant Michael Trent changed his life course and enlisted in the Marine Corps – a far different plan than he had originally imagined.

After almost five years of service, a marriage and two births, Mike now seeks to continue his education and earn an MBA so that he can team up with his wife, a nurse practitioner, and pursue their joint dream of owning and operating a nonprofit pediatric health clinic to increase access to health care for underprivileged children at home and abroad.
