Hello, My name is Tanner Bishop. Born and raised in Iowa with a passion for animals and the outdoors. When I’m not working, I can usually be found at a disc golf course, slow-pitch softball fields, or hiking with my dogs. My oldest dog, Rudy, a sweet Pitbull who loves spending time with his dad and rolling in the most foul-smelling stuff he can find. The youngest is Dale, a Jack Russell Terrier, who only cares about his food and who might throw his ball next. Life is good!
