The Man
Who is Jeffrey L. Tucker? To some he is the CEO of a
network of clinics.
To others, the leader of a healthcare system. To a number of community organizations, he is a volunteer
member
on their board of directors or advisory panel. To the clients of his technology
company he is a solution to their problems. To his kids, he is a dad, maker of
experimental pancakes which range in color and taste
 based on the
creative whim he woke up with that weekend. In some cases, he then becomes hero
to an australian shepherd who will consume most of the creations his children will not.
And to 17 horses, he
is that "meals on wheels" guy who delivers them hay bales.
The Legend
 Not many
realize that the very freedom they enjoy today is in part owed to Mr. Tucker. In
1989 Jeff was sworn into the United States Air Force/Minnesota Air National
Guard as a young airman - his selfless intention being to serve his country, to
be the best he could be -- to answer his country's call. Little did young
Airman Tucker realize that this very act would be pivotal in bringing about the
fall of the evil empire. Shortly after his graduation from Basic Military
Training at Lackland Air Force Base the Berlin Wall fell, marking the end of the
Cold War. Jeff was able to bring about that which politicians for decades before
him were unable to do.
Among his many military honors are the highly
coveted Load Crew of the Quarter (3x); National Defense Services Medal; U.S. Air
Force and Minnesota Air National Guard Longevity and Good Conduct Medals; and an
Air Force Superior Performance Commendation. Our hero has now turned this
responsibility over to a new generation of warriors who will proudly serve in
the shadow of a legend. He has proven all he can and been the best that he can
be.
The Mystery
Batman. Jeffrey L. Tucker. Have you ever seen both in the same room, at the same
time?
My Knight job.
