My name is Tanner Massey, and I am a 27-year-old, Colorado-born, Christian man who, in recognizing the privileged/blessed life I’ve lived up-to-this-point, wants to, not out of shame but gratitude, do everything in my power to improve the lives of those around me.
I was educated in a local Fort Collins Christian school called Heritage Christian Academy from 2nd grade up to my senior year of high school. From there, after spending 4 years studying at Colorado State University, I graduated Magna cum laude with a BA in Economics, and minors in General Philosophy and in Business Administration. After leaving CSU, my social skills evolved dramatically as I participated in networking group NoCoNet, began my membership in Toastmasters International, and traveled yearly to Hong Kong with a number of my friends in a missions/outreach capacity. So much of who I am in this is not because of the qualities I possess alone, but is due to the strong, thoughtful, and loving people I’ve had the opportunity to grow up with. I am, by profession, a data man. Specifically, I am a member of Animal Health International’s product data team as a Supply Chain Master Data Specialist.
I wish to be a Rotarian, first and foremost, to be that blessing to those around me that I mentioned at the beginning. I see Rotary as one of the best mediums available to me through which I can be a positive force to those in my community.
