Tanner C. Knorr

Tanner C. Knorr (CGS’09, CAS’11, MET’15) founded the 501(c)(3) certified nonprofit Second Look Worldwide, which supports infrastructure projects all over the world. Recently, the organization brought a water pipe and filtration system to the Kakoi village in Tanzania. Tanner’s husband, Keith Caterina-Knorr (CAS’14), is Second Look Worldwide’s director of marketing and events. Tanner also is owner and founder of Off Season Adventures, a travel company with the mission of “leaving destinations better than we find them.” His primary focus has been Tanzania, where he works with local partners on the ground to carbon offset his clients’ travel and give back to the villages outside the tourist sites.
