An old buddy of the Captain's and renowned as a gifted Orbital Engineer, Trip is a charming Southerner with an offbeat sense of humor who is always on the hunt for the next big adventure. Whether it's deep sea diving, constructing starships in orbit, or interspecies dating, Trip is good to go. Trip is the third senior officer on Enterprise, but he's a "fish out of water" when dealing with new civilizations.
