Throughout his career, he has partnered with national restaurant brands, including Chipotle and P.F.

His experience working with restaurant brands has given Trey a strong understanding of the coordination, communication, and repeatable processes required to successfully execute high-volume development programs. He understands how to connect a brand’s business objectives with the people, resources, and multidisciplinary expertise needed to translate those goals into consistent, scalable programs across multiple locations and markets.

In his current role, Trey focuses on developing new client relationships and expanding Core States Group’s restaurant portfolio by connecting clients with the firm’s integrated architecture, engineering, and construction expertise. He works closely with restaurant brands to understand their business objectives, identify potential challenges, and assemble the right teams and resources to support consistent, scalable program delivery.

Trey is especially motivated by the opportunity to help restaurant brands evolve, optimize their programs, and achieve their business goals. He enjoys working with clients to identify opportunities and develop strategies that address immediate project needs while supporting broader, long-term business goals. His approach is grounded in listening, thoughtful planning, and building relationships that allow teams to respond effectively as client needs evolve.

Core States Group’s Value of Service resonates most with Trey. He believes leadership begins with supporting others, whether that means helping clients achieve their goals or empowering teammates to contribute their expertise. For Trey, successful client relationships are built through clear communication, consistent follow-through, and a shared commitment to bringing together the right people, processes, and solutions.
