I may be the face of Young & Free Texas, but there are a number of behind-the-scenes folks who help me make it all happen. Trey Reeme and also the Y&F Team Web Guy and Gal, who both prefer to ride under the radar give me the support I need to be all Young & Free.
Trey is the Director of Channel Integration at TDECU. He has been in and around social media and the Internets since he was able to grow facial hair. He championed the Young & Free Texas program at TDECU and is an all around cool guy. Without Trey, I would not have this spicy job. Make sure to follow Trey on Twitter!
Jason is the Online Community Coordinator at TDECU. As Jason's Twitter profile states, "I work for a credit union. I get to do awesome things. My big project: youngfreetexas.com. Jason resides in Austin and was actually one of the finalists for the Y&F Texas Spokesperson job! Here is a video from his campaign.
The Y&F Team Web Guy and Web Gal are in charge of all the stuff that happens behind the scenes on the website. They prefer not to be in the limelight. Enough said. That's my team. Needless to say, I am happy to have the help—there is a lot of Young & Free work to be done! DeAndre' |
