Tanner began woodworking at a young age alongside his father and grandfather in his dad’s basement workshop. From simple birdhouses and backyard treehouses to innovative hemp homes, his love for building has only grown stronger over the years.
During high school, Tanner worked for his father’s construction business, gaining valuable hands-on experience in the trade.

After graduating from Colorado State University with a degree in Philosophy, Ethics, and Religion, Tanner pursued a variety of careers until he ultimately went back to his roots in wood working. While his wife attended graduate school at UW-Madison, Tanner worked as a full-time carpenter for a general contractor in Wisconsin. That experience reignited his passion for construction, and he dedicated himself to learning everything he could about building and remodeling homes.

After Tanner and his wife moved back to Colorado, he started his own remodeling company. He specialized in custom woodworking projects such as bookshelf doors, furniture, kitchen cabinetry, and full home remodels. Over time, he developed a reputation for incorporating creative and unique features—especially hidden doors, drawers, and rooms—into his clients’ homes, something he genuinely enjoys designing and building.
Tanner has always dreamed of building distinctive, high-quality homes that reflect both craftsmanship and creativity. When he met Eric, the connection was immediate. They quickly discovered they shared similar values, a love of nature, a passion for sustainable building, and a healthy appreciation for the same sense of humor.

Partnering together felt like a natural step. Tanner joined Eric in business and became a co-owner of Healthy Hemp Homes, where they work together to build sustainable, innovative homes rooted in craftsmanship and environmental responsibility.
