Jason (Jay) Tucker is a full-time youth minister in South Florida. Jay has been married to his wife, Kimberly, for 13 years. Together they have two children. Working with young people has always been his life's calling. Jay earned his B.S. Degree in elementary education and then spent two years teaching fifth grade. After teaching, he spent a year traveling the country as an educational/motivational speaker. Jay entered full-time youth ministry in 2001 and hasn't had a decent night of sleep since. Before getting paid, Jay worked as a volunteer in virtually every capacity a church could invent for about 8 years. The Whole Youth Worker; Advice on Professional, Personal, and Physical Wellness from the Trenches is Jay's first book.

Synopsis: "The Whole Youth Worker," is an insider's look at the Monday through Friday of youth ministry. In his book Jay talks about his own experiences with being a professional youth minister as well as the important role that physical health plays in being the success you were called to be. New and experienced youth pastors, senior pastors, Sunday school teachers, board members, and other church leadership will benefit greatly from this humorous look at “surviving in the trenches.”
