Tracey C. Jones is the president of Tremendous Life Books. Her father, the late Charlie “Tremendous” Jones, started Executive Books for the purpose of changing the world one book at a time. With an exceptional leadership background, Tracey became the company’s new president in 2009 in order to carry on her father’s legacy.
Tracey was born and raised in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. As a high school graduate anxious to see the world, she attended New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, NM, earning an associates degree and an appointment to the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. In 1988, she earned her degree and commission and entered the Air Force as an Aircraft Maintenance Officer. Her first assignment to Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina took her overseas, where she participated in the first Gulf War. Upon her return to the States, Tracey moved to Bitburg Air Base, Germany and then RAF Lakenheath, UK where she honed her operational skills and filled command roles of increasing responsibility.
After twelve years as a commissioned officer, Tracey left the Air Force in 2000 and moved to Austin, Texas working for a top manufacturing firm in the semiconductor industry. There, she continued to develop her skills, this time in the civilian workforce as a project manager. While there, she earned an MBA in Global Management. Tracey recently moved back to Pennsylvania from St. Louis where she most recently was the project manager in charge of a diverse base operations service contract for the government. She is excited to be back in her home state, close to her large family, and humbled to carry on Charlie’s legacy and love for books and for Christ. Tracey enjoys biking, golfing, traveling, spending time with her pets, and of course…reading!!!
Hey Tracey,
Just wanted to let you know that I think the name change was a “Tremendous” idea!! I think your Dad would have approved!! I think it embodies what he wanted to do in the lives of each person he touched!!
I was blessed by your Father and still am as I listen to him quite often in our “think sessions”!!
Thanks for carrying on in the spirit of his spirit and of His Spirit!!
Marvelously In Christ,
Dan Markley
Dan, thanks so much for the feedback on the new name! As you can imagine it was a big decision, but, like you, we agreed it embodied all things that contribute to tremendous living:-) Thanks so much for checking out my blog!
Hi,
I Heard Charlie Tremendous Jones in audio book; in it he talks about 22 books he had his son read before he went to college. Your father had your brother read these books because his son wanted to buy a Cadilliac and in the end he drove around in Dad’s car having Dad pay for gas after reading these books. Can you find out the Titles and Authors of these twenty two books and post it here.
Thanks
AJ
Hi AJ, Heres the link to the list of recommended books. It’s on our website as well since we get many folks, like you, that heard the audio. Some of the titles are now out of print so we are always updating the list.
