Tucker brings an unparalleled level of expertise to his role as Demolition Supervisor, specializing in the swift and decisive deconstruction of any structure, or block tower, within arm’s reach. He is a charmingly stubborn visionary, whose focus on heavy machinery and future building plans is only slightly less intense than his current obsession with creative destruction. While his colleagues appreciate his commitment to clearing the site, his father is still trying to locate his missing toolbox. The only thing this powerhouse loves more than bringing down a wall is his mom, proving that even a Demolition Supervisor knows where the real foundation lies.
