Since we added new team mates to our #ONETEAM this past year, we've been chomping at the bit to tell our readers all about them. We're excited to showcase one of them today! Tucker is new to the team but mighty in the skills he brings from our acquisition of hummingbird.tech in January of this year. Not only are his skills incredibly valuable to the goals we have here at Centre, but he's kind of the coolest person, too. Learn more about him below!
Like our last @ Centre feature, Tucker's work ethic and dedication to providing customers with a quality experience continue to astound us. Professionally, he's intelligent and confident. Personally, he's funny and "relentlessly optimistic" as one of the General Managers, Stacy Newell (also from hummingbird.tech), says about him. I, for one, find that one of the greatest opinions you can have about someone. It's been exciting to learn more about our recent additions to the team, so we hope you see the cool ways we're growing with even cooler people. Read on to learn the many awesome ways Tucker contributes to our team and to future generations!
Jackie Robinson! As a "mental game of baseball" buff, I would love to hear firsthand the strategies and mental approach that he took when dealing with more adversity and criticism than anyone who has ever played the game of baseball.
More than anything, I'm just interested in the principle of him stepping out of his comfort zone and kind of into uncharted waters. One of our mottos for our organization (this guy started his own baseball league!) is "get comfortable being uncomfortable" and we preach growth through that. I am a huge "mental side of baseball" coach and believe it all starts there, so as far as Jackie Robinson goes I would be intrigued to pick his brain on how he handled the adversity, challenges, and kept from internalizing it.
My role with Centre here in the Tulsa market straddles the fence of business strategy and technology. My primary objective and impact is working to ensure that technology is never the bottleneck of an organization's growth and business goals. I have a strong desire to build meaningful relationship with all of our clients and build their trust in being able to recommend right fit technology solutions.
"Tucker is beloved by our team and our clients. He is exceptionally talented, relentlessly optimistic, and just an all-around great person. His technical leadership and ability to form trusting relationships with our clients have been key to our success. We're so thankful to have him on the team!"

I wanted to be Derek Jeter and play for the New York Yankees!
I am a huge baseball guy. I actually started a competitive youth baseball organization in 2021. We are up to 8 teams and I head coach a 9AAA/Major team and now a 6U team as well. We have really grown our organization based on culture and treating families right. I can definitely say it is my passion. We encourage our teams to work together as far as older groups mentoring younger groups and ironically enough we reference "One Team" as well which I thought was really cool when I saw it everywhere within Centre.
I idolized Derek Jeter growing up because I was a huge Yankees fan and he was the captain of the Yankees. Also really liked his leadership, style of play, and loyalty to his team.
Centre has a very unique ability to provide BOTH enterprise IT solutions AND local touch and feel. A lot of people can provide one or the other. Being able to provide both a great culture and friendly, local client interaction paired with enterprise technical solutions is our superpower!
Our culture is extremely collaborative with a "roll up our sleeves and get the job done" mentality. We have a team of people who genuinely care about one another and truly want to help elevate the people around them. This is something that our clients can feel when engaging with us and a culture that differentiates us from our competition.
Tucker, it's been an honor to get to know you and we're grateful for the talent you're bringing to Centre. Our #ONETEAM is proud to have someone so ingrained in the principles of leadership, hard work, and culture-forward thinking. We're excited for the mighty ways you'll impact us all!
