TREY ODUM

Trey Odum prefers to hide behind the scenes as the producer and engineer for many of the Business RadioX shows that originate from the Gwinnett studio. Every once in a while, he might peek out from behind the curtain and you’ll get to hear him on the air. Trey’s proudest contribution is making sure Ric Flair’s signature catch-phrase “To be the man, you gotta beat the man… WOO!!” is played at the end of many episodes of “Gwinnett Business Radio“.
