Tim Tucker

Wow, thanks everyone for all your hard work on planning the reunion. I must say it's been cool to read the bio's and figured it only fair to share my twenty years.

Ok here we go, after graduating I wanted to get out of LA and try something new and exciting. I traveled for three years as a male dancer with the Chippendales review. That got old quickly and I moved onto bigger and better things... next stop, the adult film industries. I soon found I was a natural and was elevated to circus porn performer, bet you never knew what the humps on a camel were for. JUST KIDDDING.

Seriously, after graduating I knew college would only turn out to be a real party blur for me, so opted for the "School of Life". I stayed in LA for about a year working, for my father's construction company. Due for a vacation, I traveled to the USVI and decided to stay. While living on St Johns Island I worked in all phases of construction. In my spare time I enjoyed scuba diving, sailing and drinking through out the West Indies. Life was good until hurricane Hugo. Surviving the 140 MPH winds and flying debris I stayed around to help rebuild. The next sum odd years I worked in construction and aircraft cabinetry bouncing around from Orlando, USIV, Charleston, and Miami. While in the Aircraft cabinetry trade I had the opportunity to work on some high profile projects, the first of which was a 707 for President Juan Carlos of Spain. The next project was mine alone, a rear galley unit of a 747 for the Sultan of Oman.

Around 1996 I found my soul needing the mountains and culture (and green chile) of Northern New Mexico and immediately moved back. I lived in Espanola and again worked for my father's construction company. On the weekends I spent my time hanging with Craig Hurley, Jeff Dare and Dave Motley drinking way to many suds. Upon returning to New Mexico I also reconnected with Steve Young who offered me a chance of a life time, a river trip on the Grand Canyon. The trip was totally amazing but what was really incredible was see Steve in his true element. Steve truly has built quite a respectable reputation within the river guide community of Moab and it showed. After returning to Los Alamos, I would occasionally cross paths with this gorgeous confident single mother of two in my travels about town. She always seemed to get me nervous and I would lose all confidence around this lady. Finally one night she got tied of waiting for me to make the first move and told me to "just get in the truck Tucker". In 1999 I asked her two sons Justin (5) and Joshua (6) if I could marry their mother Audra Humphrey, thank God they said "Yes!" Since that day our family has grown adding, Jayde Lynne Tucker born May 25, 2000 and Jorda Faye Tucker born February 20, 2004. Audra and I been working for the Lab for about eight years. I'm currently working in Material Science Division MST-6 with the Alloy Design and Development team. Life at LANL is truly challenging these days but I don't miss the real world.

After living for six years in La Mesilla on our two and half acre spread, we decided the commute was way to consuming. We moved to White rock in July of 2006. We completely enjoy living and raising our children in the community we both grew up in. Our family enjoys spending time in a wide variety of outdoor actives, and one of our favorites is hanging with the Kosty's and Handy's. I feel truly blessed in my life. I am so fortunate to have found my soul mate and to have such amazing children, such wonderful family and friends. Life is so good and I wish everyone the best. We both look forward seeing everyone at the reunion.
