Person biography:
Born in Rochester, New York, Trigg was one of seven children. Growing up in a home with seven brothers, money was tight. That's how Trigg discovered grappling. Sibling rivalry was rampant, particularly when it came to athletics. Excelling in sports was a highly revered goal, and Trigg's natural athleticism made people take notice.
Trigg developed an early interest in martial arts. However, the sport's requisite discipline and sacrifices were intense on the grade schooler, and he lost interest until he discovered he had a gift for wrestling at the age of 12. It was then that he resumed his martial arts studies seriously.
Trigg caught the eye of athletic scouts like wrestling coach Jack Spates. Recruited by Spates to wrestle at the University of Oklahoma, Trigg's speed, agility and heart, distinguished him from teammates. Spates's tutelage went beyond wrestling moves. He educated Trigg about the business world and the intricacies of corporate America, lessons that would serve the budding entrepreneur well.
