Tracy Livingston, Owner/Developer – Thunder Ridge Airpark, LLC

Mr. Livingston offers a wealth of experience and contacts in the investment community through his affiliations and memberships in various venture capital organizations including a member of Utah Angels and many years of management involvement, board level positions, and direct capital investment in nearly two dozen Utah businesses. He is experienced in structuring companies for maximum value, capital raising, and exit success. He has been involved in land development, wind farm development and technology plays for six years and has received backing by the United States Department of Energy and the California Energy Commission to develop the next generation of wind turbine towers.

Tracy is a pilot and also flies gliders. He has been known to say, “Engines are highly overrated.” He has been searching for several years for that perfect place for a recreational airpark that marries a short flying time from the Wasatch Front and yet provides a “get away from it all” experience. He believes he has found it at Thunder Ridge and hopes you will too.

Tracy is also manager of Windtower Composites, LLC, which has government funding to develop innovative, taller, lightweight composite towers for megawatt class wind turbines. He is also manager of Wasatch Wind, LLC, a wind energy development company currently sourcing wind sites for wind farm development. He is well versed in energy plays, renewable and alternative power systems, power plants, distributed energy, and utility deregulation and trends and is using his structural, manufacturing, composite and business skills to grow these businesses.

Tracy has also founded and sold several Utah technology companies. As principal owner of Specialty Instruments Corp., a medical device manufacturing enterprise, he successfully built and sold this company in a matter of three years. As founder and principal shareholder of JTech Medical, a computer software and manufacturing business, Tracy built the company to a 28 percent net profit, $8 million operation in a short six years before selling to Zevex International in 1999. Mr. Livingston’s other technology skills include ten years of engineering design work at the aerospace firms of Pratt Whitney Aircraft, Hercules Aerospace, and Evans and Sutherland (five of those years included composite design). Tracy also brings 18 years expertise in manufacturing and quality assurance systems implementation, software development, electronic systems product development, as well as FDA medical device and manufacturing quality compliance. He has earned a Bachelor of Science, Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering from the University of Tennessee.
