Hi, I’m Tanner. I started The Daily Upgrade because I believe small changes can make a big difference. I travel often for work, so when I’m home, I make the most of my time by staying grounded in the things I love. Whether I’m out hiking a new trail, catching waves on the coast, cooking up something simple but satisfying, or tending to the garden, I’m always looking for ways to live better and enjoy the process.

My wife and I spend a lot of time outdoors with our two dogs, Jessa and Joelle. They’re part of every adventure, from road trips to mountain walks and beach mornings. Life can get hectic, so we try to keep things fun, flexible, and full of purpose. That mindset shows up in everything I share here.

The Daily Upgrade is your go-to spot for practical, real-life tips that make everyday living easier, smoother, and a little more fun. You’ll find helpful articles about home organization, cooking shortcuts, tech that actually improves your routine, outdoor gear that holds up, and products that are worth your money. I break things down in a way that’s simple to understand and easy to act on.

This isn’t about big overhauls or chasing perfection. It’s about finding small, smart ways to improve how you live, work, and unwind. Whether you’re trying to keep your house clean with less effort or you’re planning your next hiking trip, there’s something here that can help you level up without burning out.

Thanks for being here. The Daily Upgrade is growing every week, and I’m always working to bring you fresh ideas that fit your real life. Stick around, explore a bit, and let’s keep upgrading together.
