in Lafayette, Louisiana on March 2, 1995. Tucker attended LOTUS
classes in Lafayette as well as at Ajarn Mack's dojo in Abbeville.
Tucker earned his black belt on

and ground combat seminars to law enforcement, military personnel, and to martial arts instructors

Martial Way Concepts produced an instructional
gun and knife disarming DVD in 2005 with
Tucker as the instructor. The DVD is no longer available, but seminars
are. Tucker is currently located in the greater Los Angeles/Orange
County, California Area.
Tucker holds a Bachelor's of Science Degree

In addition to being passionate about LOTUS
and the martial arts in general, Tucker is also passionate about flying.
