Gaige Tracy, 26

Occupation: Luxury Auto Sales and Leasing Professional at Plaza Lincoln in Leesburg

What I do: My job is to help customers find the perfect car to meet their needs.

How I got here: I have a background in customer service and have always had an interest in automobiles. When the pandemic hit in 2020, I decided it was time to find a field where I could combine my experience and passion.

Why it’s my passion: I enjoy providing a first-class experience for all my customers.

Notable achievement: The most important accomplishment to me is probably all the trust I have built with our local customers. I love that my customers feel comfortable coming back to me when they need help or have questions about their vehicle.

Words of wisdom: Always follow through on the things you believe in.

Outside the showroom: My wife and I like trying new restaurants, especially BBQ joints. I’m also an avid gardener, so I enjoy spending the day out in the yard tending to my plants.

Life after 40: As I approach 27, I can honestly say I have no idea what the next 13-plus years will hold for me. I do hope to be in a leadership/mentor position helping promote the virtues I believe in.
