Spotlight on Brian Tucker
SPOTLIGHT ON BRIAN TUCKER Who Innovates the Innovators?
That efficiency makes it easier for Brian and his fellow employee- owners to make sure they’re providing the best customer experience we can, and that’s a satisfying feeling for him. “My favorite part of my job is being able to provide fast and efficient service to customers and coworkers,” he says, before adding, “always with a little humor and a smile.” Some days, that could mean applying Lean principles to their processes or helping a coworker with a problem. “On others,” Brian says, “it might just be catching a problem with a tile order and fixing it before it goes out.” On his days off, Brian enjoys some well-earned time with his girlfriend (Rachel), his son (David), and his stepson (Jayden) as well as visiting his daughter (Brittany) and grandson (Alex). “I also love any time I can spend in the mountains, doing home improvements on my house, and fishing,” he says. He also sponsors and assists with the Mini Street Stock Division #4 at Meridian Speedway! Thanks for all of your work, Brian. And thanks to our readers for tuning in for this month’s spotlight. Remember, next month it could be you in this space!
It’d be fair to say that Brian Tucker has worn a few different hats during his nine and a half years as an employee-owner at Franklin Building Supply. “I spent
many of those years up at our McCall location, specifically in the door shop,” Brian recalls. “A few years after leaving that position as a production lead, I ended up
moving my family down to Boise.”
Some integral things happened for him once they fully settled in the Treasure Valley. “I came on as a warehouse lead at the Design Innovations Center — also known as the 'ultimate showroom floor' for the many products our company stocks and carries.” It was a new hat, but the changes weren’t over yet. Brian says, “In the three years since I came back on with the company, most of the procedures that were in place when I started have been reviewed — and often revised or condensed” to make sure everything is as efficient and Lean as possible.
