Exploring Life and Growth with Non-Fiction Author Jeffery Tracey Sr.
Jeffery, Nice to meet you. As an author of four non-fiction books, when did you decide to finally start writing and sharing stories from your life events? A family of six can provide many anecdotes that can navigate among a flowing stream of emotional events. Did you have any reservations prior to disclosing sensitive matters that impacted your family’s welfare from alcoholism to abandonment?

The Worldly Traveler
Many of you reading this are probably like me and have spent your entire life residing in the United States of America. Similarly, you must wonder what it’s like out there in the rest of the world. Wouldn’t you love to travel and experience new countries and cultures firsthand? This unquenchable thirst for adventure leaves many of us wondering when, if ever, we might get the opportunity to have that experience. Such is not the case for the worldly traveler that is my father, Bruce. He astonishingly has lived in seven different countries on different continents throughout the globe all before the age of 17. Bruce’s father George, my grandfather, was an American Ambassador. He and his household had the responsibility of representing America on U.S. embassies in countless countries around the world. In fact, my father was born on a US embassy base in Karachi, Pakistan! As if growing up in places like Kenya, Germany, Taiwan, and South Africa wasn’t adventurous enough, my father chose to embark on his own federal career within the military at the age of 19. Several deployments and assignments led him to new destinations across the globe for the next 30 years. Adventure lives in all of us, and for my dad, traveling had become a way of life, not just a seemingly impossible idea.

What Makes Someone Successful
Average, everyday people who are attempting to better themselves or raise their income will often seek advice from high-earning people with prestigious careers. It makes sense to ask someone with success, “How do I become successful?” because they will offer detailed advice from their experience that will certainly be useful... but when you DO reach success, whose opinion of that success (or the journey towards it) matters most? Our children!
