Tom Tucker, President, has both Bachelor and Master of Science Degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University.  In 1958, after fulfilling his military obligation, he joined Grosch-Tucker, Inc., a major exposition service contractor at the time, established by his father in 1921.  In 1960, while with Grosch-Tucker, Tom started Associated Exhibition Management, Inc. (AEMI), a multi-management company to provide management services for smaller associations who did not have the need for a full-time staff or who could not afford such an overhead and to develop, produce, and manage meetings, expositions and conventions for both trade and professional associations.  In June, 1976 Grosch-Tucker was acquired by United Exposition, and one of the requirements was to divest AEMI.  Tom was with United as President, Central Division, from that time until his resignation to form Exposition Management, Inc. on May 4, 1992.
