Tuck is recent transplant to L.A. who originally hails from Memphis. Guys, he's single! To contact him,
send e-mail to justaguytuck@aol.com.

So Tuck, where did you grow up?

I was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee, and lived there my whole life. I moved to L.A. about a year and a half ago.

How did you decide to move to L.A.?

I'd lived in Memphis all my life and it was just time to move. Once you've lived in the South, you've lived there and I didn't want to move anywhere else in the South. I didn't want to move up north because it's really cold so I figured I'd try the West.

How does L.A. differ from Memphis, besides less Elvis?

(Laughs) There's definitely more people and more traffic. The weather's great here all the time. People have been very friendly here.

What do you miss about Memphis?

All my family and friends are there. I tend to miss them.

Will you be visiting them during the holidays?

No, I'm not. I work for FedEx so I'll be working Christmas Eve and the day after Christmas.

You must meet a lot of people delivering packages for FedEx.

Actually, I'm a supervisor at the airport. I don't deliver.

Oh, I'll bet you do. What are your New Year's plans?

I'll work New Year's Eve and then probably go out to West Hollywood after.

Where do you hang out in your free time?

I like to check out all the clubs. My favorites would be Circus on Fridays and Rage on Saturdays.

Do you plan to stay in L.A.?

I'm considering it. I've been thinking about the cost of living which is crazy.
