Trevor Phipps
For about 20 years of his life, Trevor Phipps has worked in the restaurant industry as a chef, bartender, and manager until he decided to make a career change. For the last five years, Trevor has been a freelance journalist reporting the news in the Southern Colorado region.
He specializes on crime, sports, and investigating history reporting. Trevor is currently a reporter for a weekly newspaper in Teller County called The Mountain Jackpot and is the Managing Editor for Pikes Peak Senior News, which is a bimonthly senior citizen lifestyle magazine.
