Tanis is one of our head bakers and our number ones sales person. He enjoys meeting new people when he is out on the road selling our dog biscuits and telling the story about BCDB. He is a volunteer youth leader at his church, advisory board member for Camp Sunshine and a volunteer for Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired. He spends his work week at Ready for Life and BCDB. He also has his own podcast on instagram, tanis_h_20. He loves listening to books, snow skiing, University of Michigan and the Lions football teams!

Gavin is the other Head Baker at Beer City Dog Biscuits. He is a leader in the kitchen with great skills in stuffing biscuit molds with speed and precision. He has become the “quality control officer” for every biscuit before it goes into the oven. He has learned all the tasks at BCDB and can support other Brew Bakers if they need assistance doing a particular job. When Gavin isn’t at Beer City Dog Biscuits he works at the Gordon Food Service store 2 days a week. In his free time he enjoys swimming, reading and playing on the computer. But he is the happiest when he is spending time with his family.
