Trent enjoys living in Reno as the city feels like the perfect size as it is not too big nor too small. It is always great to have beautiful Lake Tahoe a short drive away. Especially as he enjoys the outdoors in various ways such as hiking, biking, backpacking, swimming and more. With the consistent, regular sunny days in Reno, it makes it easy to get out and adventure in a lot of ways throughout the four seasons.
