Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, Trace and his son Jordan, age 12 at the time, moved to Warsaw in 2007 to purchase Eastlake Skating Center. Trace purchased Holiday Skating Center in Elkhart in March of 2010. Gaining involvement in the community by becoming a member of the Warsaw Optimist Club Trace soon built a reputation of bringing change to the Warsaw area. Trace welcomed daughters Ella and Delaney into the world. The family enjoys the skating rinks and the life they get to live,  helping the community. In January 2012, Trace was recognized as the Young Adult Professional of the Year. Trace has also served for 4 years as one of 54 Elite athletes on the Athlete Advisory Council of the United States Olympic Committee and competed in 3 World Championships in Pairs Roller Figure Skating. He has been a member of the USA Roller Sports board of Directors since 2009.

Bruce and Beckie Hansen, parents of Trace, are two of the hardest working people to set foot in Eastlake skating center. Moving to Warsaw shortly after Trace to help run the business, they settled down on Center Lake in their beautiful home. Both had grown up, and spent their entire lives in the Pacific Northwest. They still manage to travel back to their Pacific Ocean home and see loved ones. Bruce is a retired Firefighter and Principal, and Beckie is active in the sewing/quilting community and just finished a book, Seaside Quilts: Sewing and Quilting Projects for Beach-Inspired Decor .
