Gregory Marlo Tucker Jr.

Gregory was educated in the public schools of Newport News, Virginia. He graduated from Woodside High School in the class of 2010. He pursued his passion for sports management at Norfolk State University in the spring of 2011. He was an avid fan of the Atlanta Falcons and Duke Blue Devils and a diehard fan of Lebron James.
