Howdy! Welcome to my Date Me doc, a low tech corner of the internet in this dating app age. Hoping more cute than cutting edge in a virtual “we bumped into each other in an electronic version of a cafe” sort of way. I’m Tanner, a 32-year-old Persian American techie rooted in San Francisco with an insatiable curiosity for the world. I laugh a lot, am usually dressed for an afternoon of relaxing and focus on maintaining a state of wellness.

Ask me about canyons
Ask me about almost falling off a cliff in New Mexico
Ask me about taking your dad to Palm Springs
Ask me about Super8 cameras
Have you ever thought “I wish I could find a man with a great beard who makes me laugh, is vulnerable, resilient, knows how to communicate, has a zest for life and adventure then very conveniently lives in a delightful neighborhood that’s iconic of San Francisco” Just your luck - it’s me!
Always laughing and having a hearty time. I’ve been described as the connective, gooey tissue that brings people together (thanks?). Carrying a camera (sometimes film) to document my life and occasionally bumping into friends along the way. Continuously discovering and rabbit holing from urban planning’s effect on social interaction and familial development to Arabian pirates of the 17th century.
I’ve overcome a rough season of physical therapy from a past injury making my physical wellbeing a higher priority with some unexpected learnings and humility mixed in that I’m thankful for. Ask me all about the best ways to physically use a computer.
I’m thankful to have a prosperous career in tech making a positive impact of people’s lives while setting myself and my family for long term success. I care deeply about the direct my moral compass points aiming to do the most good for people possible. Currently I’m at Notion, doing just that, on Brand Marketing with a crew of adventurous and humble folks spreading the word of how Notion could improve your day-to-day. The full history is at my LinkedIn should you care to indulge.
Name: Tanner Godarzi (you can also call me Tan)
Age: 32
Location: San Francisco, CA 🌁
Background: Half Persian and the greatest hits of Europe mixed in with some Spanish zest
Personality type: Extroverted with friends, contemplative and meditative elsewhere
Work: Engineering for Brand and Marketing at Notion (how meta)
Musical tastes? Anything poolside at the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs to driving industrial beats like Nine Inch Nails, cinematic and expansive scores from Godspeed You! Black Emperor to nostalgic hipster indulgences in Arcade Fire.
Influences? Many, but I consider Anthony Bourdain, Trent Reznor and Alex Calderwood as my heroes well. I’m huge fans of my friends and draw inspiration from the community I live in.
All things media? I prefer my news to come from strange visions in my dreams sandwiched between Ken Layne of Desert Oracle and financial news from Bloomberg. Otherwise, occasional art house film or 4 hour Youtube explainer on a mundane topic.
What else? A mystery to continuously unravel over a glass of wine
I deeply value for myself and people I surround myself with a sense of community and curiosity about the world. Balancing sensitivity with durability. Finding moments of meditation for inner peace during the weird times we find ourselves in. Finding as much joy exploring far flung places like an out of the way cheese in Antibes as I would an unexpected run-in with a friend in the city.
Kindness carries the day. Let’s prove the doubters wrong.
Someone intrigued to make it this far! I’m looking for someone to go on coffee dates and my soulmate — is that too much to ask?
Concretely, I’m interested in women in my age group (Millenials) in San Francisco. But don’t let that dissuade you! I’d love to hear from you if you’re outside The Bay or on the cusp of the generation.

⭐ Ala "He's a sincerely nice guy, very social, who loves travel, metal music, and going down the rabbit hole on niche topics like cults and city planning.”
⭐ Wheels “Tanner is like a cosmic gumbo. Smooth, nutritious, surprising, and a real treat.”
