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 executive 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 national 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.

Good work,
​good words

"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

"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 now the New York Times' vice president for product and technology, in an e-mail to USA TODAY's staff in October 2007
