98: Transcending their Olympic Medals by Legendary Couple Mark & Tracy Stockwell

Today, we continue the conversation with a legendary couple! I don’t use that title lightly as the Stockwells have won more Olympic Medals between them and have been in service to their community in such abundant ways over these past 30 years, it truly is legendary.

Tracey is considered one of the greatest female swimmers in history winning 3 gold medals for the US in swimming in 1984 and holding 5 world records - only her countrymen Phelps would come along to surpass her dominance in the pool! 

And then there’s Mark, busy winning his own Olympic silver medals for Australia at the ‘84 Games, while concurrently studying engineering, commerce and later economics. 

Now heading up the very successful Development – residential - property and funds management group STOCKWELLS, he spends his days in risk management, acquisition and identifying new areas of investment. He’s constantly serving on boards such as The Commonwealth Games, The Chair of Trade & Investment Qld, Past president of the Property council and even the current Tokyo 2020 Australia Olympic Team Appeal Committee Chairman!! Does this man ever sleep?!?

Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, Tracey made the voyage across to Australia post swimming and has been awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia for her service to sport in this country and in particular opportunities for women in sport!

But here’s the kicker...they have 5 children!! I could have started and ended their legendary intro with just that!

I appreciate you both for carving out a slice of your lives to share with our audience the design of a power couple and what you have created as a family!
