Trent Bates
Raised in the San Joaquin Valley, Trent grew up traveling to the central coast in the summertime to go to the beach. He’s happy now to have settled into this area after residing in Oregon for a few years, where he worked as a counselor and therapeutic housemate at Windhorse Portland. As someone who likes to turn to the natural world for sustenance and healing, Trent enjoys spending time outside, like going on trail runs and then jumping into the ocean, or for just slow walks around the neighborhood to look at the plants. When connecting with creativity, Trent enjoys diving into and exploring music while brewing up cups of oolong tea. Trent is also in the process of becoming a certified soil consultant with application in organic agriculture and ecosystem restoration.
