As a lifetime athlete, Tanner grew up playing team sports including baseball and basketball. In high school, he transitioned his focus to cross-country and track. Always keeping a team-first mentality, Tanner ran cross country for Mount Marty College during his freshman year of college. Due to injuries, he then switched his focus to weight lifting.
After years of lifting weights and looking for a more balanced approach to training, he was introduced to CrossFit by fellow firefighters. Tanner works full-time as a firefighter and volunteers in his spare time for the Tea Fire Department.
As a founding member of CrossFit 605, his interest in fitness and team building led him to coaching.
He currently lives in Tea with his girlfriend, Mandy, along with their spoiled Austrian shepherd, Bonnie.
