“My family is my real life.” Tracy Wolfson ain’t just making headlines as a sports reporter; she’s balancing the mesmerizing act of career and family like a true pro. This Emmy-nominated broadcaster’s secret weapon in sports commentary, and behind her is her number one fan—David Reichel.
It all began at the University of Michigan, where two young hearts crossed paths for the first time. Wolfson was pursuing her communications degree, while her husband studied economics. Reichel graduated in 1996 and then earned his MBA in finance from NYU. As of today, he’s rocking it as a senior salesperson at Barclays Capital’s equity derivatives group. Not too shabby for a college sweetheart, no?
With three rambunctious boys—Dylan, Ari, and Evan—running around their home in Tenafly, New Jersey, Reichel’s got his hands full while the CBS presenter zips around the country for work. It’s no secret that she’s often on the move, covering everything from NFL games to NCAA basketball.
