Our Story

Our story begins with a deep passion for advocacy and healing, ignited by our youngest son Trey's autism diagnosis in December 2019. Trey's journey toward growth and transformation has profoundly impacted our family and those around him. Initially, we believed his healing would solely benefit him, but we soon discovered its far-reaching effects on everyone he encounters, including ourselves. As Trey continues to achieve milestones, we rejoice alongside him, embracing life's unexpected twists and turns.

To honor Trey's remarkable journey, we established Treys Way, leveraging our professional expertise and personal parenting experiences to provide a range of services such as consulting, advocacy, coaching, public speaking, and solutions to families, businesses, and organizations.

Recognizing the multitude of paths in life, our mission at Treys Way is to help guide you along your journey to transformation, whether you choose your own way, our way, or Trey's way.
