Tammi was born and raised in Central California and later lived in Southern California before relocating to Clarksville, Tennessee. She has been married to her husband, Shawn, since 1988. Together, they have two married children, five grandchildren, and are joyfully anticipating the arrival of another grandchild in July 2026.

In late 2021, a neighbor introduced Shawn and Tammi to Real Life. In November 2022, Tammi made the life-changing decision to accept Jesus as her Lord and Savior.

After attending The Path in January 2022, Tammi began serving in the Babies/Pre-K ministry. She has faithfully served both in the classroom and as Assistant Director, experiences that have led her to her current role as Director.
