Tracy was born in South Georgia, where her entire family is rooted. At the age of five, her father was offered a job in Tallahassee, Fl. Tracy spent her adolescence in Tallahassee and graduated from Leon High School in 1982. From there she went to work for a Holiday Inn while she attended college to pursue a degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management. While attending college, Tracy's father was offered a position at Progress Energy. Tracy now having a daughter, decided that Crystal River would be the perfect place to raise a child. She moved from Tallahassee to Crystal River in 1989 and took a job at a local hotel and restaurant. After working there for eleven years, the hotel was sold and Tracy decided to start a business of her own. Shortly there after, A Cool Tan and Day Spa was opened. While juggling her family and her business, Tracy went back to school to get three major cosmetics licenses to be able to offer more services at her business. After three years of success,Tracy sold the business and signed a five year no-compete contract. The spa is still going under the name of Bronze Beach. Because Tracy's true passion was to be involved in the restaurant industry she decided to seek a job managing a local restaurant. After short time frame, Tracy ended up working for Café on the Avenue. Six months of serving along with Tracy's hard work and dedication took her from a server to General Manager. Six years down the road the current owner was considering selling the restaurant. A few short months later, Tracy was officially to new owner and operator of Café on the Avenue with her fiancé Rudy Trnosky. 

Rudy achieved his bachelor's degree in Culinary Arts at the International Art Institute in Tampa.Rudy was born and raised in New Jersey. After graduating high school, he moved to Crystal River to work at his father's restaurant in Beverly Hills. His father passed away when Rudy was twenty-five and the restaurant closed. This is when Rudy became a Sous Chef for Café on the Avenue.
