So far, I've worked on everything but POTs and Nurse Call under the LEA license. The foundation of who I am, in my field, is a result of many great LEA journeyman I've worked under and with. I fell in love with the trade so much, that a year after I received my license, I joined the JATC committee. In spring of 2019, I was accepted as an JATC instructor. This allowed me the opportunity to teach and learn from 2nd and 3rd year apprentices. Instructing has been one of the most rewarding parts of my career, thus far.

Tracy has spent decades in the construction industry and believes in the value of the trades.  She started as a PM, moved to Sales, Sales Manager, before becoming the GM of a commercial fire and life safety contractor in the Pacific Northwest.  In her last role, she was amazed at how difficult it had become to find skilled workers.  Navigating different job sites and hiring platforms – none of which focused on our industry's needs. Finally, in November of 2021, she jumped out of her (some might say) responsible job to start Real Work – an on-line platform built just for the trades.     Her mission is to support the trades and remind people the value of different paths. She lives by the moto that “everything's figure-out-able” and is committed to delivering a platform that meets the needs of both employers and workers. Bringing the industry into the 21st century.  Tracy truly believes, "it's all about the People".   The Real Work platform is scheduled to launch September 8th.  You can go to Realwork.com now and sign-up to be one of the first people notified.   Also, Tracy and the Real Work team (working behind the scenes to bring this to life) would love your support with the launch if you're able and willing.  You can own stock in the business with as little as $100 investment. Here's a link for anyone who's interested in being a part of this starting on the ground floor!   https://wefunder.com/realwork
