Meet Kregg Zulkeski, Tucker’s new Parks and Rec director
🌳 Following the retirement of Rip Robertson in March, Tucker Parks and Recreation has a new director. Kregg Zulkeski hit the ground running in May, bringing a storied background to the department.
With two degrees and several certifications under his belt, Zulkeski had his sights set on a director role. After a brutal winter up north, the Connecticut native looked to the South and found the role in Tucker.
After accepting the position, he moved his family down to Georgia, ready to take on summer camp and pool season. Now, after only a few months, Zulkeski says he enjoys Tucker and appreciates the residents’ engagement and love for the city.
