Your Host at The Tucker Inn

It was my destiny to be an innkeeper but like all destinies it took time to unfold. It all started one summer when I was conceived while my hard working parents were operating a small hotel in the Catskills. With the exception of me, their endeavors in the Borscht Belt weren't particularly fruitful, which may have been what caused me to progress through an extensive consulting career before settling down in Provincetown to embrace my fate.

While awaiting the call to innkeeping, I founded a consulting firm in New York City, Burchman Terrio Gebhardt and Quist, which specializes in addressing urban issues such as AIDS, homelessness, addiction and mental illness. It was a great success and a wonderful company with which I maintain a long distance connection. When not consulting, my great joy is writing, and like many artistically inclined innkeepers in P'town I hope to find some minutes to pursue my passion.

That's me, above, as you have probably guessed, and Colby on the left. Colby is the power behind the throne here at the Tucker and he, in his youth, is everything I wished that I had been in mine: athletic, popular and blonde.

I embarked upon innkeeping on a 'paw and a prayer' you might say and have had the best times ever doing it. Colby and I and our reclusive cat Paddo hope you will come and spend some time with us in our historic home and wonderful town.
