Tannon has big plans, and as a future innovator, he works to ensure he will be successful in his aspirations. He plans to be an entrepreneur when he grows up, and is currently learning a computer-aided design software program. Tannon loves all things STEM, brainstorming new inventions and building things with his hands in his spare time. Since he was diagnosed with T1D when he was a baby, Tannon has done all he can to find a cure for T1D—including digging holes as a small child in his backyard trying to find it. Tannon plans to continue his work, saying “when I grow up and become a billionaire, I will donate lots of money to JDRF if they haven’t found a cure yet.”
