Career
Tracy Williams found his niche for selling when he landed a job with a now defunct, C.M.I (corporate management industries). Through an advertisement in the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle he saw a posting for a company in sales. The candidates did not need experience and could rapidly advance through the company. Tired of his drab life he applied and got the position. The company sold designer fragrances and the entry level sales associates use outdoor sales tactics to sell to complete strangers. The company trained the associates with techniques on how to sell and sent them out in world. He did well right away. Since the job was commission based the more he sold the more he got paid. This was his driving force. Within his first two weeks he had sold enough units to become a junior manager. Just weeks after that he made manager and began to train the incoming recruits. Unfortunately the company relocated and left him unemployed. Since then he has owned a club, a landscape business, and a remodeling company. Trial and error has sharpened his knowledge of what works and what doesn't.

Tracy is currently the owner of the TLW Group Inc. The TLW Group Inc is an organization dedicated to improving not only the urban living experience but the culture and stigma that has eroded the image of urban areas.

Tracy Williams is the founder of Building Stronger Responsible Men (B.S.R.M.). B.S.R.M.’s focus is on teaching kids how to think clearly and understand the function of life. The program focus is on teaching kids how to think and understand how they fit in the human ecological system. Using a Socratic teaching style the student is able to use their experiences to find the answer. By utilizing this approach it becomes personal and more memorable. He began the educational component of his program during the ROC E6 summer program for inner city youth. He was asked by the founder, Arkee Allen to teach an ethics class during the camp. He further developed it with a Saturday School program at Wilson high school with a select group of youth. There he taught them what would become the curriculum for his book, “The Come Up.” It was released in 2012.

B.S.R.M is currently working on their first “5K Run for Youth Revitalization". They have also teamed up with Kala Gauss, founder of “Beyond Athletics”, who will handle the conditioning component of The Come Up. Through this compressive program he addresses academics, physical health, values and morals.

Maintaining his commitment to the community he is producing "5K Run for Revitalization" race which will be used to fund costs for students to attend qualified programs throughout the city of Rochester.

Personal Life
Having grown up in and navigated through the urban environment he believes in those who live there. In 1993 he started a company, Rome Management. At Rome Management the goal was to improve the urban living experience by purchasing abandoned or foreclosed homes and repairing the units to above standard conditions, renting to qualified tenants and providing direction and guidance to those who need it. He gives back to the community by volunteering his time and staying devoted to the beautification of urban areas.

He also started a program called B.S.R.M (Building Stronger Responsible Men)in 2000. Young men from the inner city are taught character development, how to be responsible men and the skills required to make proper decisions. They also learn about economics and finance. In 2009 Tracy was given the opportunity to turn B.S.R.M. into a curriculum for a Saturday class for Walter Larkin Jr. at a local middle school. Aubrey Sheffield,helped him turn the program into a weekly pilot program with about twenty 7th and 8th grade students within the Rochester City School District.

Most Recently, with the help of Reverend Wendy DeMott Fambro he worked on a Youth Travel Program with Salem United Church. The group raised funds during a year long process to reach the goal of sending 6 people to Accra, Ghana. The trip was made in February 2012.
