The Chariot's Most Beautiful Asian Man: Rob Trinh

Born in Lethbridge, Alberta, Rob moved to Victoria, BC at age 2 and resided until 19, when he moved back to Lethbridge to pursue his Bachelor of Management Degree.

Rob has an older sister and younger brother as well as two dogs, Lucky and Asya. Growing up, Rob enjoyed playing volleyball, and his favourite summer activity is going camping and surfing in Tofino, BC. His favourite winter sport is snowboarding. One of Rob’s favourite rituals with his old friends is swimming late night at Oak Bay Rec and watching horror movies. Give him his iPod, hoody, and running shoes and he's good to go. Eating and karaoke are Rob’s favourite thing to do.

Throughout his university career, Rob worked for Model & Talent Search Canada as senior scout and HR advisor. Every four months, he travelled to New York, Montreal, and Toronto. In addition, Rob worked for CBC Radio as a writer for his own drama series West End High. Rob involved himself in school politics, becoming the Chief Returning Officer responsible for chairing council.  It was his fourth and final year of university when Rob decided to enroll in a hip hop dance class; and from there he knew exactly what to do after graduation: pursue the entertainment industry.

After graduation, Rob travelled solo to Brazil to surf and re-acquaint himself with Brazilian friends he made in high school. Shortly after vacation, Rob packed his belongings and moved to Vancouver to pursue his career. After signing with a modeling/acting agent, Rob landed his first reality TV series, the "Nissan Versa: Larger than Life Road Trip," where he ended up winning the competition, walking away with a brand new car.

After gaining hosting experience on a web-based talk show, Rob was cast as a co-host on Hot Pink Shorts. Thereafter, Rob pitched his own show to outTV called "How Far Will You Go?" The series followed 12 male models as they competed for first-place standing. In addition to hosting the popular series, Rob was the choreographer for the first season.

A philanthropist, Rob sets a high standard as a leader in creating role models and opportunity for others. Rob and best friend Brandon Howe directed a modelling competition titled "Hook Me Up: I Want a Modelling Contract." Besides marketing, promoting, and styling the photo shoots, Brandon & Rob donated all proceeds to benefit the Play 4 Phil Foundation, created by Rob himself and his brother Tony. The Play 4 Phil Foundation improves the lives of young teens, sending them to sport camps. In 2010, Brandon and Rob produced and directed “Rock the Hem Line,” a fashion show that showcased four Vancouver-based designers' Spring 2010 collection. All proceeds benefited The Play 4 Phil Foundation.

Beyond the front lines, Rob is working towards opening a modelling agency/school as well as an entertainment company that will produce new talent and fresh faces for the North American scene.

Rob is currently working at Ford Models in Hollywood. His all-time favourite quote is, “Be the change you want to see in the world,” words of Mahatma Ghandi. If there’s one piece of advice he could give to anybody, it would be: never pity yourself and play the victim. You and only you can make a change.
