Tanner currently coaches the offensive and defensive lines at St. Andrews High School.

In his free time, Tanner enjoys wake surfing on Austin’s nearby lakes, spending time with his brother, playing golf, cooking and hunting. “I have always enjoyed bringing groups of people together for a good time,” he said.
