Personal[edit]
While born in Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, Trout lived much of his early life in Bolivia where his parents were missionaries. Here he conditioned his leg, playing soccer at the age of 12. After retiring from football, Trout worked as a missionary, building homes in Florida and then went into Youth Ministry where he was a Youth Pastor at St. Johns church in Turnersville, New Jersey. In 1994, he attended Piedmont College in North Carolina where he received an Airframe and Powerplant license to build and fly aircraft. He then used his degree to become a bush pilot, to bring supplies to the people. To do this Trout would have to fly in and out of Mexico, landing the small planes. The air strips were in mountainous regions and extremely small to land the planes. After leaving the mission, he returned to New Jersey and built houses in the area as a contractor. He now serves in Bolivia where he grew up working with mechanics on airplanes and inspecting.
