Dr. Trent J. Burrup is a Master Firewalk Instructor through the Firewalking Institute of Research and Education (F.I.R.E.).  His first firewalk was in 2005 and it was such a life changing experience that he became a master instructor in order to help others have similar experiences.

Dr. Burrup graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa in 2000 as a chiropractic physician and founded the Institute of Chiropractic & Acupuncture Therapy in 2002; an integrative health care clinic focused on addressing the cause of illness and disease.  All disease and illness is caused by imbalances in three general components of the body: the physical, chemical, and/or emotional components of the body.  Seeing the influence that an effective firewalking seminar can have on impacting the emotional aspect of the body - through helping one overcome fears and limiting beliefs, realizing the power of the mind, recognizing the impact of positive and negative thinking on one's health, life, and attitude, etc. - becoming a firewalk instructor was a perfect fit for his practice.

Dr. Burrup attended Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah for his undergraduate schooling.  He was married in 1995 and has three children - two daughters and a son.  He has walked on coals hundreds of times and founded Quantum Step, Inc. to offer firewalking seminars to the public ( Why Quantum Step?  The most difficult step in achieving one's goals and dreams is often the first - it is definitely the most difficult at a firewalk).  He has developed different firewalk classes to meet the many different needs of participants.
