Tucker has explored more than 78 countries on all seven continents. He has conducted criminal investigations, counter-terrorism missions, and provided executive protection to VIPs throughout the United States, Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, and Australia. Tucker lives in the Washington, DC area with his family, but his go-bag is always packed for the next mission.
