Tracey was born and raised in Itasca, Illinois, a northwest suburb of Chicago. She attended a small Lutheran school from pre-K through eighth grade. Those years were memorable and filled her mind with biblical truth. It was during college that she connected the spiritual knowledge to a heart for Jesus. In 2004, Tracey was baptized, declaring that she is a follower of Jesus Christ.
Tracey received her Bachelor’s degree from Augustana College in Elementary Education with middle school endorsements in Math, Science, and Language Arts. She also has her Master’s degree from St. Xavier University in Teaching and Leadership. In the future, Tracey would thoroughly enjoy attaining her doctorate degree because she just loves to learn.
Tracey has been married to Mark since 2001. They have four children. Their oldest daughter, Skya, is married to Jacob and they reside in Virginia. Sola, their second daughter, is engaged to Jared and will be married in spring 2026. Their third daughter, Selah, is a fun-loving teen who loves to babysit. And the fourth is their son Revel, a teenager who loves baseball. Two golden doodles, Russell and Rollie, complete their household with extra cuddles, tennis balls, and friendly greetings.
Tracey is thrilled to be joining Coram Deo Academy where she can speak about Jesus and teach junior high Math. It is Tracey’s dream job!
