Amanda Keeter, Director of Philanthropy at Concordia University

"I am so grateful for Tanner and his ability to share his gifting as a coach. I taught a class at a local university and invited Tanner as a guest speaker. His ability to connect the content with the students was incredible. Upon completing the semester, many of the students referenced his visit and the things he taught as key take aways in the final survey. Great work!"

Nafisa Nazeer, Former Intern at ActionCOACH Central Texas

"Tanner is inarguably one of the very best supervisors I have ever had the opportunity and utmost pleasure to work with.He is exceptionally well-organized, thoughtful, and resolute with company objectives. He is excellent at communicating expectations, and is a very pleasant and kind personality. One can tell that Tanner leads with care, for both the business goals and for the people inside and outside the company. Patient, flexible, and driven, Tanner strives towards realistic and actionable solutions that yield enormous successes. In conclusion, I strongly recommend Tanner for any company or position, as he is a fantastic supervisor, coworker, and person overall."
