Editor. Journalist. Communicator.

The rapidly evolving communications industry needs editors with creativity, flexibility and speed who thrive amid dizzying change and still uphold the highest standards of accuracy and clarity.

That's where I come in.

I'm a production editor at USA TODAY who is helping guide the newspaper's digital revolution. In the fall of 2007, I directed the Life copy desk's move to Web publishing by learning new technologies and training co-workers, and my efforts earned public praise from Kinsey Wilson, one of the most highly regarded and innovative digital news executives in the industry.

Today, I'm still leading and teaching -- and learning, too.

I can quickly shape raw copy into an engaging narrative, craft award-winning headlines that captivate readers in print, online and on mobile devices,  compose blog posts and format content for publishing across all platforms.

I'm eager to explore the future of communications and publishing, and I'm confident I have the tools to discover what's next.

Good work, good words

"Trey has led the Life desk's transition to dot-com posting in the past few weeks. Aside from running the show and managing the workload, he has been a patient teacher to those who still need some coaching. ... And despite the extra demands on his attention, he continues to dazzle on the print side." -- Kinsey Wilson, former USA TODAY executive editor and currently NPR's executive vice president and chief content officer, in an e-mail to USA TODAY's staff on Oct. 12, 2007
