Background: Jeffrey Tucker was born in the Southeast region of Texas where his family has lived since 1830 with an entrenched spirit of independence and appreciation of individual liberty. His father was "a musician, historian, professor, preacher, sportsman, composer, camper, explorer, intellectual and all-round dreamer" who heavily influenced Tucker.

Originally a musician, Tucker entered Texas Tech University to study economics and transferred to Howard Payne University's full-paid honors program where he studied under private tutors and read vociferously. He later took journalism classes, worked with Ron Paul while he was out of office and enrolled in graduate school at George Mason University. He left academia, however, to pursue journalism, institution building and commercial endeavors. Tucker has been heavily influenced by Murray Rothbard and Albert Jay Nock.
