My name is Tanner LaMark, and I am a junior. It’s my first year on the Mountain Echo staff, and I’m hoping to make it a great one. I enjoy music, video games, going for walks and hanging out with my friends. I also play the bass in the orchestra. After high school, I plan on going to college to become a vet.
