About Us

My name is Trevor Maloch, before Maloch Media I was a high school math teacher. Obviously to help mold young adults into knowledge seeking, courteous speaking, well rounded individuals, and definitely not for the SUMMERS OFF! ; ) I started a student news broadcast as an after school program, that then turned into a class where kids were soon creating their very own short films and producing and directing their own news broadcast. I definitely picked up a niche for filmmaking and the whole video editing process got my creative juices flowing.

In the summer of 2014, a friend offered my services for a wedding and BAM! Just like that, I was hooked and never looked back. I became indulged in the story-telling of the couples. Being around such happy and loving families and friends made the filming such a blast. Then to have the honor to edit how my couples will see their LOVE STORY portrayed for the years to come, gave me great joy. I want them to be happy to share their video with their kids someday. I want to make videos that people don't fast-forward through.  I love to think about how my couples might show their grandkids someday, and be excited to show them.

​Who We Are

Born and raised in Corona, CA, I didn't come out to the mid-west until college where I attended McKendree University "Go BEARCATS! ROAR-meow." I moved to Champaign, IL in 2008 and started teaching and coaching. I was then lucky enough to trick a beautiful girl, Kim to fall for me and we were married in 2013 on her parents farm. By the way, we Pinterest'd the crap out of it, and it was EPIC! Sad story is, we didn't even hire a Wedding Videographer and now every time I edit a wedding, my wife gets a little teary eyed and hits me, "Why didn't we have a videographer?!?!" We did have some OH-SO-AMAZING Photographers though (Kara Kamienski and Matthew Steed Wilson). You guys ROCK!

Our new adventure now is with our almost 3 year old BEAST, Harrison, with a baby girl, Grace. Kim did an amazing job carrying both of them and am impressed by her mommy skills daily. With our 2 kiddos and 4 fur babies, it gets pretty hectic in the house and I'd have it no other way.  I have recently gone back to teaching in our new hometown of Fairbury and am excited to be doing both of my passions of teaching during the week and creatively filming on the weekends.

​​Interests

I love having a cinematic adventure (watch a movie on the BIG screen) and am a huge superhero fan. Getting together with family is a must, and there is always food involved which I'm never mad about. YUM! Kim is quite the baker, she teases that she is just going to open up a bakery, but is afraid we will eat all the products, hehehe : ) From board games with weird rules to volleyball or tennis, I love most if not all competition sports/games. I rarely let my wife win at many games, but especially never at 10's and 2's (ask, and I'll explain the game). I don't know what it is, but I can beat her 9 out of 10 times for sure. She would hit me if I ever let her win anyway. We are very competitive at everything with each other, so it makes for interesting game nights. My new favorite hobby is hanging with the new kid on the block though and reading him books, even though he just likes to close them on me or tell me how the story really should go; at least that's what I think he is saying to me in that baby talk nonsense.
