“A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle”

–James Keller

Born in Chicago, and raised in Cicero, Illinois. Before working at Huff-N-Puff I was in the Marine Corps for 5 years where I was the lead Maintenance Management Specialist stationed in Great Lakes Naval Station. Learning about the importance of attention to detail and time management paired with priority organization. While working with a great number of different marines, I found it very helpful to understand the characteristics of the individual and the importance of learning to balance their strengths and weaknesses with the help of the team. As a child, I would look up to my parents physical and nutritional habits, which in part with military training and discipline, made me interested in my own personal health and fitness goals which are ever changing.

Besides lifting and balancing my plate in the kitchen, I find martial arts like Boxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) to be my favorite activities. I am currently a BJJ Blue Belt in pursuit for more knowledge and experience in hopes to one day teach what I have learned to others that are interested. I participate in competitions for BJJ. When I am resting my body, I exercise my mind with strategy games like chess, TCGs and books and research pertaining to history and modern events.

Trey R.
Field Technician

Favorite Quote:

“We are what we repeatedly do; Excellence then is not an act but a habit.”

– Aristotle

Between being a plumber and a systems technician in the military, Trey has been somewhat of an analytical person. However, a part of being a good technician is the ability to teach your profession. He loves when an opportunity to interact and teach a customer how to repair equipment presents itself. Teaching is the most rewarding and influential part of any career, and sometimes you can learn just as much, if not more, from the customer.

Trey grew up in a military household, moving five times as a kid; he finally landed in Southern Illinois. He became a service plumber four years out of high school and decided he wanted to serve the community more significantly. So, he joined the Military in 2014 and served honorably for nine years. He has had several mentors and professional acquaintances that have terrifically impacted his life. However, his mom is his hero. “Every good thing I have now, physically, spiritually, and mentally can somehow be routed back to my mom.”

Trey spends his downtime hanging out with his fiancé and tasting the nature surrounding him. His favorite hobbies are hiking, fishing, cooking, and playing with his dog Chief. The quiet of nature is his escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. It takes the “bite” out of the typical American day.
