Dixie Forum: Jason Buck and Phil Tuckett
Former BYU All-American and Super Bowl-winning defensive lineman, Jason Buck, will share the pivotal life shaping challenges that inspired his football career, and his present-day life, in his presentation entitled “Rushing Destiny.” He will take the audience behind the plays to the real grit of what drove him forward during the toughest years of his life – and to what he lives for today. Buck will chronicle his experiences as he fought insurmountable odds and adversity as a boy growing up in a small Michigan farming community, and how through his hard work, heart and determination, he was able to transform himself into a world-class athlete.
As a special feature to his presentation, DSC faculty member Phil Tuckett, a 30-year veteran of NFL Films who is collaborating with Buck on a documentary about his life, will show a number of highlight clips for Buck’s NFL career.
Special session featuring Preston Hughes
Hughes has an interesting background. He trained as an area specialist in the Army’s Foreign Area Officer Program—including earning an MA in Middle East Studies at the U of U. He then spent more than 13 years of military duty in Turkey, including military attaché in the US Embassy and as a NATO Liaison Officer in the Turkish General Staff HQ.
