About the Candidate - Trey Fleming was raised in Houston, Texas and graduated from high school and college in Dallas (Duncanville and UT Arlington, respectively). Trey was active in Republican politics throughout college and worked in 1997 as the Grassroots Director for a U.S. Congressional campaign in Dallas. He later moved into the private sector with Whitaker Consulting and relocated to Austin, Texas, in 1999 to manage their Austin office. It was in Austin that he first became involved with the Democratic Party. While with The Whitaker Companies, Trey was given the awards of Rookie of the Year and Employee of the Year (Whitaker Way).

In 2001, Trey relocated to Houston and joined Computer Sciences Corporation. He worked with CSC until 2005, when he left to join Capgemini (formerly Ernst & Young Consulting). Since joining Capgemini, Trey has won the title of Sales Executive of the Year (2006) and is a member of the Platinum Club for 2007. He has also attended Utilities Sector training in Chantilly, France, and Competitive Intelligence training at the Indian School of Business in Hyderabad, India. Most recently, Trey served as the Chairman for the 2007 Consular Business Forum honoring the Federal Republic of Germany and focused on the theme of Energy Efficiency in Texas.

He grew up the son of parents who took a shot at the American dream by owning their own restaurant in Conroe. While the family business was short-lived, the work ethic and family bond it created was not. His mother has been with Child Protective Services in Dallas County for over 20 years and has been instrumental in the commitment Trey has to child welfare in Texas.

Trey is a fourth-generation Texan living in Cy-Fair and has a wonderful 3-year old daughter. He is a member of The Foundry United Methodist Church.
