About

Hi, I’m Trevor. 

Most people know me as an Arrogant Worm, but I also write books, create comedy and music, and teach. I have a PhD in Education, so you’re welcome to call me Dr. Strong—though it does make me sound suspiciously like a supervillain.

I was born in Ottawa, though I have no memory of the event. I later moved to Belleville for my awkward teen years where I demonstrated great artistic potential in my role as Eddie the Bear at the Quinte Mall where I waved at people and handed out gift certificates.

Then it was off to Queen’s University for some sort of degree. There I joined a campus cabaret group called the Queen’s Players from which the Arrogant Worms took root, grew, and blossomed like a stinky flower. The Worms became a full-time thing and I spent many years travelling across Canada with occasional stops in other countries. 

Since then I've written too many songs for me to count, published three books, and got a PhD in Education with my succinctly titled thesis, Creativity in the Ontario Elementary Curriculum 1853–2018: A Historically Situated Document Analysis. I do a lot of teaching, I'm an Adjunct Professor at Queen’s University, run my own comedy writing school, and give workshops on creativity, humour, and music whenever I can.
