Tanner comes to WPBC after serving in different church roles in South Dakota, Kentucky, and Oklahoma. The Blossers love hanging out, eating great food, and pretending to be into outdoor activities. If you really want to get to know Tanner, bring up OSU sports, the OKC Thunder, or audiobooks/podcasts and he will talk your ear off!
