The journey from an AB to a BA is the life story of somebody who suffered severe spinal injury after a fall climbing. Who was left with a high level of paralysis and told he would never walk again. This book explores the journey from being active and able bodied (AB) to gaining a degree and becoming a bachelor of arts (BA). From the transition of adapting to disability, living independently, getting an education and finding a life worth living. To finding new adventures and misadventures on the way including continuing a life long passion for skiing and finding new challenges and ways of enjoying the great outdoors.

Trev suffered a life changing injury nearly 19 years ago, where his life was literally ripped apart and he broke his neck, dependent on carers and the use of a powerchair for mobility.

Still Rolling is a remarkable account of one man’s determination not to be beaten by his injury and live a life of possibility not disability ranging from life experiences, travel, overcoming obstacles and barriers.

  • "“Trev” is resilience personified! A rolling inspiration, author, accomplished public speaker and action man. The term post traumatic growth is a reflection of Trev’s life after suffering a catastrophic life changing injury that left him paralysed. This event was a catalyst that eventually saw Trevor go from an able bodied person with a love of the outdoors to what many would say is the best version of himself and the proud holder of a BA degree. This is reflected in his journey and book: Life Rolls On: The Journey from an AB to a BA. Trevor’s unique combination of humour, brutal honesty, humility and charisma makes him a world class speaker, author and motivational coach."

  • "This book is an education to all of us, especially those who have never experienced severe disability. Mr. Baker is an inspiration. His book is easy to read and extremely interesting, narrating in brave and lucid detail his physical, mental and emotional experience during his journey from being fit and extremely active, through the terrible fall that robbed him of most of his movement, to his graduation as a Bachelor of Arts. Written as it is in a matter-of-fact rather than a self pitying tone, this book is not harrowing as it might have been, but gripping and informative. Well done to Mr. Baker. I look forward to his next book, "From B.A. to ....."

  • "A remarkable story from someone with such severe disabilities following an accident.
This should serve as an inspiration to those with similar disabilities."

  • "We could all learn a lot from Trev. While most people don't really have a lot to complain about in life, many are very good at searching and searching until they find something to whinge and whine about. In all of the time the I've known Trev it's very rare to hear him complain about anything (he does sometimes of course, he's human like the rest of us  )  There are many things that we take for granted, walking, feeding ourselves and never give them a second thought.   So how is it that a man who's life was changed, literally in a flash, and lost things that we consider to be so  fundamental to our existence,  can be so matter of fact about it? Simply put it's in his attitude to life. I haven't yet figured out exactly what it is but its' got to be something like "Ok life - you can knock me down as many times as you want to, but I won't stay down! If you knock me down 7 times I'll get up 7 times" And he's good at it. When he tells me stories of some of the challenges he's faced I find my self wondering how he manages to carry on and even laugh about it.   I have the privilege of knowing him as a friend and having worked with him too. Most of you won't have the pleasure of actually getting to know him but you can do the next best thing, read his books and get to see him speak if you can. We could all learn a lot from Trev and we'd be short-changing ourselves if we didn't. "

  • 'I have seen Trev deliver his story a number of times now and each time it inspires me more and more. Listening to Trev talk about his experiences is truly motivational and makes me determined to achieve more with my life. Trev's book is a must read too. I highly recommend booking Trev if you are looking for a speaker to inspire and build resilience.'
