Field Techs

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.
