Trace was born and raised where the wind comes sweeping down the plains: Tulsa, Oklahoma! He’s in his senior year studying Musical Theatre at the University of Oklahoma and plans to pursue theatre professionally post-grad. 

When he’s not onstage, Trace is most likely in the kitchen making his famous chocolate chip cookies or out thrifting with friends. He is an avid writer of plays, music, and short stories, and recently showcased his songs as part of the original song cycle Elevator Music. His next project, a musical satire about the moon landing—Mooned, is currently in development. He also co-hosts the college-audition podcast We Got In!

Some of his favorite credits include The Balladeer/Lee Harvey Oswald in Assassins, William Barfee in The 25th…Spelling Bee, and Bob Gaudio in Jersey Boys. He has worked across the country at Lyric Theatre of OK, the Tent Theatre, and the Barn Theatre.
