Tracy joined the marketing team after first becoming involved as a volunteer in 2024. His passion for conservation, outdoor recreation, and community engagement complements his role in promoting the organizations’ missions of protecting local lands and connecting people to nature. Tracy brings a diverse professional background in marketing and graphic design, with experience across the media and publishing, manufacturing, and healthcare industries. A graduate of Appalachian State University, Tracy developed a deep appreciation for the outdoors while exploring many of North Carolina’s iconic natural areas, including the Blue Ridge Parkway, Grandfather Mountain, Pisgah National Forest, DuPont State Forest, and trails throughout the greater Charlotte region. Outside of work, Tracy enjoys spending time with his family, hiking, playing guitar, attending concerts, illustrating, and cheering on the Carolina Panthers and App State Mountaineers.   704-342-3330 ext. 1221
