Tucker was born in Janesville, Wisconsin, where he graduated in 2002 from Joseph A. Craig High School. He began skating in 1994 when a friend of his fathers took him skating in lieu of playing hockey. He considers his greatest accomplishment to be winning the gold medal in 500m at 2003 World Junior Championships. Tucker cites his parents as his strongest influence, along with everyone he has skated with.

On November 17, 2007, at the World Cup Race in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Tucker beat the previous American 500m record (34.42) which was originally held by 2002 Olympic Gold Medalist Casey Fitzrandolph, with a time of 34.31.
