Tom Tracey immigrated to the United States from Australia in 1895, and naturalized as a U.S. citizen in 1899. In one article from 1894, he is described as Dan Creedon's foster brother and trainer. In an article from 1908, he is referred to as Creedon's half brother.

He later became a head of the Portland Boxing Commission during the mid-1910s.

According to the July 10, 1926 Portland Oregonian he was operating a small cigar store in the lobby of the Gasco building in Portland. See also [1].

According to the November 26, 1937 Portland Oregonian he was the manager of Portland Light Heavyweight Jack Root at the time Root ended the comeback of Mysterious Billy Smith in 1915. The article refers to "the late Tom Tracey," so he had passed away at some point prior to this.
