Trevor Akimoto answers questions about being recognized as a 20 In Their 20s honoree.

Founder & CEO | Embarcks Travel

Digital Marketing Director | Poplin

Was there a pivotal moment in your life that brought you to where you are today?

Growing up skiing with my dad was such a pivotal time, and I was fortunate to dedicate years to skiing competitively. The sport taught me that as long as there’s passion and love for what you do, not even torn knees or broken bones can stop someone from achieving what they want in life.

What is the most fulfilling part of the work you do?

Being able to take my love for travel and create a meaningful impact on the lives of others. 

What do you hope to be doing in 10 years?

I hope to be financially free and spend time traveling the world and experiencing new things with my incredible wife, Sam, and our family.
