Houston-area native, Trey Payne holds 10 years of wide-range event experience from operations and event conception to marketing, production and sales. His passion for events began as a live music enthusiast. Trey began to love the events industry because of the ever-changing environment and the diverse day-to-day challenges. At each event, he likes to pause and admire the blank canvas of an empty space, the completed set-up just before doors open and once again after tear-down. “It feels great to be a part of creating something from nothing,” said Trey.

Prior to his professional career, Trey earned a Bachelor of Music with a concentration in Music Marketing and Guitar Studies from The University of Texas at San Antonio.

After graduation, he joined the school’s full-time team at the University Center, followed by the Henry B Gonzalez Convention Center as an Event Manager. Most recently, Trey served at Freeman as a client development executive, selling and producing events.

Outside of work, Trey enjoys spending time with his wife, two-year-old daughter and ten-year-old dog. His hobbies include playing, designing and building guitars from scratch. If you’re into live music, Trey would love to bond with you over all things acoustic!
