One of the character traits that Tanner inherited from his mother, who is an artist and graphic designer, is an appreciation for aesthetics and the creative process.  Tanner’s primary creative outlet is through photography.  In particular, he enjoys photographing natural and abstract scenes. 

Combat sports remain an important part of Tanners life.  He currently teaches wrestling and trains in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. He also enjoys activities off the mat such as running, biking, hiking, and backpacking.  Tanner is thankful to live in such a beautiful state as California where it is relatively easy to be active and experience beautiful places in nature.
