Tracy and Adam met right after college in 1996 while in the Jesuit Volunteer Corps in Omak, WA, although they didn’t start dating until 2005. They were actually roommates before they started dating, but Tracy had to kick him out because Adam could not follow the cleaning schedule and left the stove on (insert bulging eyes emoji!). Adam went to Holy Cross and has a degree in Political Science. Since 2007, he has worked as a lobbyist for the state’s hospitals. Tracy went to Colgate University, where she got her degree in Anthropology/Sociology and a minor in music. She attended Boston College and received her master’s degree in Social Work. Tracy worked in the field of foster care adoption for ten years before deciding to stay home with their children.
For fun, Adam enjoys sitting on the town library’s Board of Trustees and coaching a multitude of their children’s sports. Tracy is involved as a class parent and enjoys helping run the elementary school book fair. Both Adam and Tracy love to read and to travel when they get the chance.
