Since the Days of the Romans

No one understands what it's like to fail so much, that success is the only option left.

As a young boy, Geoff Tucker struggled with an undiagnosed learning
disability. School was difficult and no matter how hard he tried, his grades
never improved. As the son of a Manhattan corporate lawyer and the great
grandnephew of a president of an Ivy League school, expectations were high
but Geoff just couldn't succeed no matter how much he tried. After being
turned down by numerous colleges, Geoff struck out to find his place in the
world and that place turned out to be with horses.

Much has been written about the close connection and healing power that
exists between humans and animals, but Geoff Tucker lived that experience.
He slowly convinced himself that he could make a difference in the lives of
people and horses by becoming a veterinarian, and along the way the events he
experienced changed his life forever.

Since the Days of the Romans chronicles Geoff 's journey from failed student to
graduate of one of the most prestigious veterinary programs in the country.
He is now a leading expert in his field and travels the country treating all kinds of horses from Kentucky Derby winners and international show horses to
beloved family companions.

Geoff 's story is proof that no matter what the obstacles, belief in yourself is
the most important factor in creating the life you really want.
