Roles
- owner/founderhttps://www.theclassroomnelson.com/about-us
- As printed Hi, I'm Dave DeVries, the owner/founder of The Classroom and lifelong entrepreneur with a serious passion for business and pizza. You may also recognize me from Xtreme Realty in Rock Falls where I am the managing broker. I've always had a love for creating things from the ground up, whether it's building strong real estate connections or crafting the perfect slice. For years, I dreamed of opening my own restaurant and bar, and now that dream is a reality- bringing people together over food I've been perfecting for years using my own homemade recipes.Published by the company · confirmed Oct 28, 2026, 6:10 AM UTC

- As printed Hi! I'm Tracy DeVries, the baker behind The Classroom Bakery! I've always had a love for baking- there's just something special about creating something from scratch and sharing it with others. I especially enjoy experimenting with new reicpes and coming up with delicious twists on classic favorites. At the bakery, I make a little bit of everything: fresh breads, muffins, cookies, and more. Each item is made with care, creativity, and a whole lot of love. Outside the kitchen, my greatest joy is my family- especially my 10 wonderful grandkids who keep life fun, busy, and full of laughter. They inspire me every day and are a big part of why I do what I do.Published by the company · confirmed Oct 28, 2026, 6:10 AM UTC
