Tennis resides in Wabash County with her husband, Jason, and together they have two children, Andrew and Addison. Tennis and her husband have been involved with 4-H through their children for more than 15 years. Dairy cattle have been central to the Tennis family’s 4-H projects, which can be attributed to Jason and his family’s dairy farm, Tennis Dairy.
