Representation
Tanner Briggs is HotMales Model Management's most consistently rebooked roster member for family-forward engagements. Originally from Stillwater, Minnesota, Tanner came to representation by way of a regional Lowe's circular in which he held a rake.
Tanner specializes in weddings, anniversary celebrations, milestone birthdays, retirement parties, and what the agency internally categorizes as "warm energy bookings." Clients consistently note his approachability, his strong recall of guest names, and a complete absence of awareness about what he is being booked for.
He believes the modeling industry is "really nice once you get to know it" and has been surprised, on multiple occasions, by champagne. He maintains an active Costco membership and brings a card for the host's mother.

In Conversation
How did you get into modeling?
Oh gosh, totally by accident. I was holding a rake at Lowe's for a coupon flier and a real nice lady asked if I'd ever thought about it. I hadn't! But she gave me a card and here I am. My mom framed the flier.
What's your favorite kind of booking?
Family stuff. Anniversaries especially. People are so happy at anniversaries. I make sure to learn everybody's name before I get there. It's just respectful.
Anything surprise you about this industry?
How often there's champagne! Even in the morning sometimes. I usually have orange juice instead, but everyone's been really patient with me about it.
How would you describe your style?
Clean. Pressed. I iron everything the night before. My grandma taught me. She said you can't trust a man whose collar doesn't stand up on its own.
What's something people don't expect about you?
I make a really good lasagna. I bring a pan sometimes if the booking allows. Most clients say no thank you, but a few have said yes and we have just the best evening.

Wedding season is the BEST. Got to be at three this month. Mrs. Donovan asked me to be 'the special guest on her side.' I sat with her family and learned everybody's name. So warm.
Just got home from a real nice booking in Boca. The client's husband was 'away on business' so it was a quiet evening. We did a puzzle! 1000 pieces. Sunset over a lighthouse. So fun. 🌻
Everybody at this agency works so hard. Blaze is doing great with his fitness stuff. Diego is so confident in himself! It's inspiring. We've got a real special group here.
Client Notes
“I booked Tanner for my 70th birthday party at the country club. He hugged my entire bridge group, learned all our names, and helped clean up. He thought it was a baby shower for an hour. We didn't correct him.”
“Booked Tanner for an 'engagement celebration.' I am not engaged. He brought a card anyway. I have it on the fridge.”
“Tanner asked if he could call his mom from the upstairs landing during the booking. He sat on the floor and updated her about the centerpieces for 22 minutes. Best $4000 I have ever spent.”
