About: Trace grew up on a small farm in Jensen, Ut. At a young age he was shooting prairie dogs around the farm and enjoyed hunting coyote and big game. In high school he started learning how to reload and loved making groups as small as possible.

Trace loves anything outdoors and spending time with his wife and 2 little boys. His first match was in 2019, and he shot a handful of matches from 2019-2021. He decided to get more serious in 2022 and has had lots of success.
