“I spent the first 20+ years of my career as an engineer and manager in four high-tech companies. I saw firsthand how many nice, bright and lost engineers work in them, and how hard it is for outsiders (and often even insiders) to reach them,” says Dr. Tuck. “I feel called now to help prepare Christian students to go into the high-tech world as great engineers and great Christian witnesses. Gordon College is an outstanding place to pursue this call.”
