Greetings. I'm Trey Barrineau, an experienced editor and writer in the Washington, D.C., area whose work has appeared in USA TODAY and other publications. 

I'm currently the editor of Door & Window Market magazine (DWM), an award-winning B2B publication that covers the residential fenestration industry. I edit and write a wide range of content, from breaking-news items and first-person blog posts for the Web to deeply researched features for print. I also produce the only daily e-mail newsletter for the North American door and window industry. Additionally, I manage DWM's social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram, and I make frequent appearances in DWM's video newscasts. I joined DWM in December 2014.

In  2018, my reporting on proposed changes to the Energy Star program was a national finalist for best news analysis in the American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE) Awards of Excellence. In 2017, my coverage of Venezuela's takeover of a U.S. glass factory was a finalist in the prestigious Jesse H. Neal Awards for excellence in U.S. business writing.

From September 2000 to December 2014, I was a multi-platform editor in USA TODAY's Life section. I composed blog entries and stories, managed the Life website's presentation on mobile and desktop platforms during the evening hours, and created posts for USA TODAY's branded social media accounts on Facebook and Twitter. I also helped copy-edit all of the national newspaper's print products.

During my time at USA TODAY, I was honored multiple times for outstanding headlines, and my articles and blog posts generated more than 10 million pageviews.

Outside of the newsroom, my college football blog, Tigerpundit, launched in 2002, has been called the first one ever in that niche.

I had started reading DWM back in September after the archivist Carl Malamud publicly praised its reporting on a standards case involving the 'fenestration industry.' That’s a neat thing about trade publications: Many do an unparalleled job covering their niches." — Slate.com, "The Only Place in Journalism Where the World Still Works,"  November 2016

"You have been doing a great job reporting on the story of the Guardian factory nationalization in Venezuela over the past several weeks. ... You are able to gather and report information that's not to be found anywhere despite the 24/7 news cycle with virtually unlimited outlets." —  Bob Nyman, Livingston Marketing & Communications, Oradell, N.J., in an e-mail, September 2016

"I wanted to commend Trey Barrineau on the article Where Have All the Workers Gone. You hit the nail on the head. ... I would like to ask that you send me a PDF version of the article ... to send to trustees and members of FHBA." — Rick Ilmberger, board member for the Florida Home Builders Association (FHBA), in an e-mail, August 2015
