Just like in sports, life’s travels often take us down unknown highway that in the end result in victory. That’s the pathway of success for Jacob Tincher, a 2016 graduate from Vian High School where as a member of the Wolverines football and basketball teams formed a foundation for success today as a father and successful business partner with his wife, Macy.
““I’ve always believed that when the going gets tough, the tough get going. I had to set out my junior year after transferring from Gore to Vian. That setback only made me want to compete even more,” recalled Jacob. Playing football and basketball at Vian instilled in me the importance of teamwork and giving a 110% effort everyday.
As part of the Wolverines football team that reached the 2015 state quarterfinals, Jacob earned All-District honor as a wide receiver.
“We played for each other more than for ourselves, a true family environment based on respect and appreciation for each other’s strengths,” Jacob said with a voice of commitment and pride.
Flash forward to 2025 where Jacob and Macy, herself a standout softball player at Durant High School who earned All-State honors playing catcher, base their relationship on a united foundation of teamwork.
“We’ve both still have that competitive spirit that helps strengthen our relationship as husband and wife and now as parents,” Macy said with conviction. “It also helps us running our business together. We have to adjust to the daily circumstances working with people, doing things right and always try to meet their needs”
Jacob, who along with Macy own and operate DTC Barns and Buildings LLC, sees their combined efforts similar to that of being a coach.
“I’ve always believed you don’t ask others to do something you aren’t willing to do yourself. No matter what, put a smile on your face and with a positive attitude always give your best effort,” said Jacob. “That works for me and Macy. I know she’s going to give it her all and I’m the same way no matter if I’m building a barn or helping raise our son, Ridge, who as a 2-year old boy will certainly keep you on your toes.”
And while the uniform may have changed for Jacob Tincher since wearing the purple and gold number-27 jersey, the desire to find victory and happiness through hard work teamwork remains a solid bond for he and Macy.
“By putting together our individual strengths, we’re continuing to develop a fruitful spirit of competitiveness,” said Jacob, who notes that Macy has just a strong will to win as he does. “Together we’re going to make sure we always do our best.”
