Additional Information

From at a very young age working with my father (Mark Tanner), In the garage on snowmobiles, vehicles, engines, I have always had a drive for making something work or fixing whatever the problem is.

Welding on stoves, building trailers, fixing broken farm implements, being a MacGyver with what we have on hand so it works and works properly.
