Tracy A. Goode Darton State College
If you ask him, Tracy will tell you that the two best things about him is his wife of nearly 16 years, Teresa, a labor and delivery nurse at Pheobe; and his daughter Abby, the quick-witted eighth-grader who tolerates her daddy’s attempts at humor. A life-long Albanian, graduate of Sherwood Christian Academy, Darton State College and Georgia Southwestern, Tracy returned to his alma mater in 2012 to work in Darton’s Advancement and Public Relations division. In this division he oversees fundraising, alumni relations, public relations and marketing. DSC’s staff was recently recognized with four national awards for their TV commercial campaign and their magazine, Capstones; both of which are total in-house productions. “I work with a team of dedicated professionals who know how to produce with excellence, I’m just honored to be a part of this team, one of which is a fellow 40 under 40 honoree,” said Goode. Having been on the stage since the age of six, Tracy has acted in 11 productions at Theatre Albany, has acting credits in six movies, including Paramount Pictures Footloose (2011), Sherwood Pictures Facing the Giants and Flywheel. Most recently he worked on two Christian films both set for release next year, and ABC’s “Resurrection,” which is currently airing on Sunday nights. Although his acting “gigs” are very rare, he enjoys all aspects of media production and marketing; from producing and directing to creating commercials and videos for local organizations. When asked about what his weekends look like, Goode said “I¹m really bad at golf, and I don¹t see marathon running in my future, so in my free time, why not do something I’m passionate about, like being creative". Tracy is active in the community, sings in his church choir and truly believes in Albany, Georgia. I am grateful for everything God has given me. I¹m thrilled to have this opportunity and consider it an honor to serve the community in which I have called home for 37 years.
