Dave Trumbo is in ninth season as the coach of the women’s beach volleyball team. He became the coach in 2016, when the program was launched.

Trumbo has successfully built the women's beach volleyball program, the first in Division III, into one of the top small-college programs in the country.  In 2018, the Mustangs finished second at the inaugural AVCA Small College National Championship, while they posted the first-ever win over a Division I opponent, topping Morehead State. In 2022, the Mustangs earned their first-ever AVCA Small College National Championship with a 4-0 win over Hendrix. That same year, Emily Pellini and Shannon Baily were named Stevenson's first-ever AVCA Small College Beach All-Americans. 

Off the court, Trumbo has worked for WTTR radio as a color analyst for McDaniel basketball games and the Carroll County High School Basketball Game of the Week. He has also served as a color analyst at Adelphia Cable Television for the Carroll County High School Basketball and Lacrosse Game of the Week and prepares and edits segments of a quarterly publication that reaches 50,00 subscribers.

Trumbo received a bachelor of science degree in physical education from Towson and a master of science in recreation administration and supervision from Morgan State. While at Towson, he participated in both soccer and baseball.

Trumbo's wife, Fran, is a college field hockey and women's lacrosse official and the couple has three children, Michael, Becky, and Bryan. Michael is a Stevenson graduate who ran cross country for the Mustangs.

Becky was an All-American lacrosse player at Towson and is currently the head girls' lacrosse coach at Century while Bryan also graduated from Towson and boasted a 4.0-grade point average. He was the commencement speaker for the College of Health Professionals and received the award for Towson University's Most Outstanding Senior in Physical Education/Teacher Education in 2009.
