Bio:

Glenn was an orphan before working class parents in rural Wisconsin, close to Madison, adopted him. Glenn did not grow up the privileged child of lawyers or other professionals. Of the 262 persons in his law school class, he was one of a handful whose parents were not college graduates. Prior to becoming a lawyer, Glenn worked numerous jobs to pay for college and law school. He truly understands what it means to struggle financially and understands the need to be conservative with your hard-earned money. Some attorneys put themselves on a pedestal and rely on intimidating you. Glenn does not want his clients to call him “Mr. Tanner” and for six years Hershey, Glenn’s Weimeraner dog, went to the office with him daily. Glenn always has professional office space available in Spokane and Seattle to meet with clients, but he works primarily from his historic home on Spokane’s lower South Hill with his current two rambunctious Weimeraners, Horatio and Ophelia, and his competent assistant, and welcomes you to meet with him at his home if that is comfortable for you. Glenn is married to Christine, a social worker and therapist. Glenn and Christine lived in the Puget Sound area for 15 years and principally relocated to Spokane in 2004 when they purchased and restored a lower South Hill 1910 Tudor revival residence built by James Comstock and lived in by his daughter and Eugene Shadle. The architect was James Ritchie, the same architect who designed the Spokane County Courthouse and many other courthouses in Washington. Glenn has been an accomplished bicyclist and runner. He completed the Seattle to Portland (STP) ride in one day and Ride Around Mt. Rainier in One Day (RAMROD). He use to regularly place in his age category in running races and enjoys competing in basketball. In his spare time Glenn enjoys theater, hiking, camping, reading, gourmet cooking and good wines. His favorite magazines are Harpers, Atlantic Monthly, and Sports Illustrated.
