About Me
I am a husband, father and friend. I enjoy writing, gardening, cooking, traveling, and my latest skill, woodwork.
I am grateful someone employs me to help create an environment that allows others to acquire the funds and skills required to get rid of their boss’. Isn’t that ironic?
I believe that life ends when you stop learning.
To us, snow and cold seem a mere delaying of the Spring. How far we are from understanding the value of these things in the economy of Nature

The story of
Tracy L. Williams
I am beyond grateful these days. I’ve spent 16 years making wonderful mistakes in my career. Meaning, I spent a lot of time and money learning hard lessons which culminated in everything I needed to know to be where I am at today. I go to work and absolutely LOVE what I am learning.
For the length of my career, none of it would be possible without my family. They are my motivation and more often than not, the source of my knowledge.
I am the SR. Vice President of Business Development for Rochester Economic Development Corporation. (REDCO). REDCO is a not-for-profit development corporation established to stimulate and increase business investment in the City of Rochester, New York. Currently I build relationships with local businesses and attract new businesses to the Rochester area. I help local and new businesses gain access to technical, financial and other services to help their companies grow.
I have over 15 years experience in residential real estate development as founder of the TLW Group Inc. I am a social entrepreneur and author of 7 books. My work within the community is seated in my work at the TLW Group and includes other businesses I’ve founded. These include The Wealth In Real Estate Seminar I’ve been teaching for several years and The Charleston House restaurant. Each endeavor was created to add value to the community. In 2019, I incorporated all these elements with a bike ride across the country to raise awareness about urban living conditions, educational and health disparities.
I enjoy writing, learning, bike riding, gardening, woodwork and spending time with my family. I am a graduate from the Rochester Institute of Technology, with a BA in Marketing and Economics.
