Biography

Traci began her career in the building industry in 2001. As founder of a safety training and management company, Traci was the only female owner in this field in the northwest. Traci developed clientele of commercial contractors, homebuilders and heavy equipment operators.

In 2007, Traci sold her company and began working with Michael Tenhulzen in the remodeling business. She and Michael strengthened their industry partnership in 2012 as they became co-owners of Tenhulzen Residential Design Build Remodeling, the family business. Last year Traci was the 7th female President in the 114 year history of the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties (MBAKS).

Traci believes, “It’s not whether you win or lose, but how to lead your team to succeed with their goals.” She appreciates the unique position that she is in with being a female in a male dominated industry. Her success does not come by accident. Traci prepares for each day, and each job by leaving no stone unturned. She asks questions, does research and relies on her years of sales and customer service experience. Last year Traci was honored with the BIAW Remodeler of the Year and the MBAKS Builder of the year, a fabulous transition as past president of MBAKS.
