Shortly after 2008, Trac left Pine Cove to start a small business with a college friend. For the next number of years he lived in Dallas Texas, Gull Lake Michigan and Nashville Tennessee. Trac then moved back to Friendswood Texas in 2013 and began attending, once again, Bay Area Church where he led a small group of 8th graders until their graduation. It was during this time that Trac and Dr. Jason Nave started a friendship and began talking about coming on staff someday at BACS. That someday started in the fall of 2018. Trac will be starting his 5th year as Student Life Director at BACS.

Trac loves his job at BACS and his goal in life is, and always has been, to lighten up and have fun. Trac life's theme and saying has always been, "Work Hard!! Play Hard!!" The students work very hard at BACS, therefore they need opportunities to have a little fun.
