Trey Brownfield

Brownfield recently co-founded the Men of Steel organization, is a Rotarian and sits on the Slidell Heritage Festival Committee. He’s manager at a locally owned hardware store and he and wife Gabby had a baby last year and recently became foster parents of another child.

“Civic involvement is important because it not only identifies the problems, but it identifies the solutions,” Brownfield said. “My approach is ‘Let’s figure out how we meet this need.’

“The more involved you are, the more you see and the more you want to help.”

Brownfield, a Chalmette native who moved to Slidell in 2009, said being a member of the Leadership Northshore Class of 2020 honed his desire to expand his community involvement. He added that his two years leading Keep Slidell Beautiful give him some knowledge of how city government works.
