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

I'm currently the managing editor of publications for NAIOP, the Commercial Real Estate Development Association. I oversee all aspects of production for Development magazine, and I also write articles and blog posts as needed. Additionally, I help edit the association's research projects. ​I joined NAIOP in August 2018.

During my time there, Development has won multiple national and regional awards for editorial excellence. In 2021, the publication was a finalist for Magazine of the Year in the American Society of Business Publication Editors' Azbee Awards of Excellence.
​
From December 2014 to August 2018, I was an editor with Key Media & Research,  a provider of educational, marketing, management and information services for the glass and metal industries. I wrote and edited a wide range of content as the editor of DWM magazine, curated and produced a daily e-mail newsletter for industry stakeholders, 
managed the publication's social media accounts, and made frequent appearances in video newscasts.

While at Key Media & Research, I won multiple national and regional awards for my reporting.

And from September 2000 to December 2014, I was a multiplatform 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 a wide range of print products, from the iconic national daily newspaper to specialty publications.

During my time at USA TODAY, I was honored multiple times for outstanding headlines.

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

Good Work,
Good Words

I think you are one of the great ones and I say that from experience. At this point, I literally worked with hundreds of editors over the years!" —  Ron Derven, longtime contributing editor for NAIOP's Development magazine, in an e-mail

"I just had the pleasure of reading the Spring 2020 edition of Development magazine. I have been an enthusiastic reader of this magazine and its predecessors for the past 28 years, and I found this to be the best, most informative edition yet." —  Ron Rayevich, founding chairman of the NAIOP Research Foundation, in a letter to NAIOP Corporate leadership, April 2020

"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


"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, in an e-mail to the newspaper's staff, October 2007
