No stranger to West Chester, Trachtenberg returns to south campus for his second stint with the Golden Rams after spending five seasons with the Purple and Gold before departing for Rosemont. In his five seasons as the assistant coach and recruiting coordinator, Trachtenberg helped West Chester win a PSAC Championship, an NCAA Atlantic Regional Title and the 2017 Division II Baseball National Championship.

Prior to his first stint with the Golden Rams, Trachtenberg was an assistant coach at Pomona-Pitzer in Claremont, Calif., and at Division III Neumann University. Away from the collegiate ranks, Trachtenberg spent 10 seasons as the head coach at Friends' Central School in Wynnewood and was on the staff for the Geneva Red Wings, a summer collegiate team in the New York Collegiate Baseball League from 2009-2013, including a three-year run as the head coach in 2011, 2012, and 2013. A total of 12 of his former Red Wing players were draft selections or free agent signees by Major League Baseball franchises.

Most recently, Trachtenberg became the first head baseball coach in Rosemont College history when he joined the Ravens in the fall of 2020 with the mission of launching the program for the 2022 season. The 2022 season saw the Ravens field a 35-player roster and record the program's first wins before increasing their win total to 15 in 2023 and eventually earning their first playoff berth in 2024 with eight wins in United East Conference play.

A 2002 graduate of Lehigh University with a degree in accounting, Trachtenberg has also served as an associate scout for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In recent years, Trachtenberg has also earned his Master of Science in Sport Management from Drexel in 2015 and his MBA with a graduate certificate in Leadership from Rosemont in 2025.

During his tenure at Rosemont, Trachtenberg remained connected to West Chester, serving as the Graduate Coordinator for the Sport Management graduate certificate program.
