Axum has worked as a codes inspector for the City of Murfreesboro for nearly 30 years. During his tenure, the city’s Building & Codes Department has changed and adapted along with the community’s growth, transitioning from paper to electronic processing, updating software technology and adopting new codes.

“Not only has Trey adapted to changes, he has also adapted with staffing. No matter who comes and goes, Trey has always been ready to help new employees and inspectors.” said Kevin Jones, assistant director of Building and Codes. “He has been a dedicated employee who is always willing to pitch-in and will leave a large voice for other inspectors to fill when he decides to retire.”
