We’re kicking off our blind dads series with an incredible guest—Tanner Gers. Adaptive sports athlete, beep baseball hall of famer, CEO of AccessAbility Officer, and proud dad to a little girl, Tanner brings the kind of energy and insight you don’t want to miss.

He shares the story of how his life changed at 21 after a devastating car accident that led to vision loss and four brain surgeries. From there, Tanner takes us through how he leaned into prayer, meditation, and mindset to not just recover, but rebuild.

Sports played a huge role in that rebuild. Tanner breaks down how he got involved in everything from goalball to track and field, and how beep baseball became a huge part of his life. He even opens up about the tough side—dealing with concussions and the physical toll of staying in the game.

We also dig into his work with AccessAbility Officer, the consulting company he founded to connect blind professionals with meaningful jobs in digital accessibility. Tanner brings up some real concerns about the future of accessibility jobs as AI advances, including how data sharing could open the door to discrimination. His goal? Push for legislation that protects our community.

Tanner was an absolute blast to talk to—full of humor, honesty, and straight-up motivation. This is a powerful way to kick off a month dedicated to spotlighting blind fathers.
