Jerry Tucker was born in Prescott, Arizona, into a
traditional ranching family. Working cattle and
training horses would best describe the childhood of
this artist.
Developing an appreciation for fine leather and
silver products while attending college at Northern
Arizona University led him to owning a leather shop
in Aspen, Colorado. Using silverwork as
embellishment on his leather products led "Tucker"
to the manufacture of embossment tools for
silversmithing and the creation of Tucker Tool Co.,
in operation today.
