Tricia was born and raised in Delaware county, graduating from Buckeye Valley High and Otterbein College with a degree in Music & Business. She has lived in Powell for nearly 20 years with her husband John and son Owen, who is now a college student at Miami University... and their 2 rotten terriers. After many years of school PTO and Music Booster volunteer duties, Tricia joined the BIG in August 2023. She had previously worked in insurance with Kim & Emilie, and they talked her into coming out of insurance “retirement” to help out with the administrative tasks the office needs. When she’s not in the office, she enjoys singing with her friends in the Gahanna Community Chorus, visiting her son in Oxford and empty-nesting with her love.
