Joining Tuggle on AGC Georgia’s board are veteran industry professionals: Mike Macon from Balfour Beatty Construction as Vice President, Sean Moxley from Garbutt Construction Company as Secretary and Scott Lawrence from McCarthy Building Companies, Inc., as Treasurer. 

Active within AGC Georgia since 1990, Tuggle has contributed to various committees and task forces. He advocates for workforce development, previously spearheading the Central Georgia Skills Challenge for Georgia high school students. Tuggle demonstrates a commitment to industry advancement having served on the AGC Georgia board for seven years.

“As board president of AGC Georgia, I am committed to leveraging my experience and passion for the construction industry to drive positive change, foster collaboration, and advance the interests of our members and the community at large,” he said. “I look forward to working closely with my fellow board members and industry professionals to uphold AGC Georgia's mission of promoting excellence and innovation in construction across our state.”

After graduating from Auburn University in 1982 with a Bachelor of Science in Building Construction, Tuggle embarked on a career as a general contractor and has showcased leadership in multiple construction companies before founding Peachtree City-based Tuggle Construction, LLC in 2021.

Beyond his professional endeavors, Tuggle established The Tuggle Construction Foundation to address various community needs. The foundation supports local elementary school lunch accounts, provides grocery and rideshare gift cards as a resource to families in Roswell identified by school administrators and social workers, and contributes to the Midwest Food Bank Georgia Division. 

Residing in Peachtree City with his wife Patty of 41 years, Tuggle finds joy in family moments with daughters Erin (of Athens) and Morgan, son-in-law Paul, and grandchildren Emilia and Beau (of Roswell). Throughout his life and career, he upholds his core value of "just do what is right," striving to lead his family and company with integrity and purpose.
