During high school, he began to write reviews of records for school credit and soon found his passion in music.

From late 1983 through 1994, Trunk became a fixture at WDHA, the station he grew up listening to.

Over the 10 years he spent at DHA (all on a part-time basis), he hosted, produced, and programmed the stations popular metal show, in addition to doing regular airshifts, remote broadcasts, interviews, and promotions.

Around 1986, Trunk became an employee of Megaforce Records which had signed both Metallica and Anthrax.

He became vice president of the company at age 25.

During that time, he earned executive producer credit on some works from bands like Anthrax, Raven, T.T. Quick, Manowar, Overkill, King's X, Prophet, Icon and Ace Frehley.

In fact, Trunk was the main driving force behind reviving Ace Frehley's career, convincing Megaforce Records head Jon Zazula to sign Frehley to a solo deal.

1997

Around 1997, WNEW FM was looking to become a more "heavy" station and move away from their classic rock playlist.

Trunk was one of the first people hired for the new concept.

He wanted to do a metal show for the station, and eventually Saturday Night Rocks was born.

WNEW became a talk radio station, but Trunk's show was one of the few retained.

2003

Trunk hosted Friday Night Rocks and Saturday Night Rocks for WNEW-FM in New York City until the radio station underwent a format change in 2003.

He was also a regular disc jockey on Q104.3 before joining WNEW-FM and was a VJ who hosted the weekend episodes of Metal Mania on the cable television channel VH1 Classic.

He also hosted a weekly Saturday four-hour program on XM Radio's Ozzy's Boneyard Channel.

Trunk was suspended after an interview with New York Mets catcher Mike Piazza in which Piazza was critical of XM Radio's programming on the Boneyard Channel.

2006

Trunk was not heard on XM again until late November 2006, when he appeared on the Ron and Fez show to announce his return to XM.

He began hosting Eddie Trunk Live on the Boneyard beginning the first week in December 2006.

In May 2006, Guns N' Roses lead singer Axl Rose made a surprise visit on Trunk's Q104.3 radio show.

As of January 2017, Trunk has somewhat backed away from his earlier criticism of the hall citing progress made in the enshrining of bands such as Rush, Kiss, Cheap Trick, Deep Purple, Def Leppard and Journey.
