The foundation of Trace is our people, led by our Partner Team. At Trace, we define a “Partner” as employees critical to the long-term success and survival of the firm. Without the Partners, there is no Trace. The Partner Team is built on a foundation of trust and transparency and has grown from our two co-founders of Rhonda and Darrell to over 20 of the most caring and genuine people in our industry.
