Tansie Derner

is an associate with Demeter Communications. She excels at projects requiring extreme detail and customer service.

In addition to her project work, Tansie provides Demeter with financial oversight and accounting services for all projects. Her experience in the accounting field makes her a fundamental component to Demeter’s team and provides expert attention to detail. Tansie has provided all levels of accounting services to firms ranging from Cheyenne Frontier Days, education, forestry and production agriculture.

Tansie is very involved in her daughters’ activities. She can usually be found organizing and assisting with most any 4-H activity in the county. Tansie spends many hours coaching and helping with the various other activities of which her daughters are involved.

She was raised on a ranch in southeastern Montana where she grew up riding horses and competing in high school volleyball and rodeo. She went on to earn a bachelor’s degree with high honors in accounting and entrepreneurial studies from Black Hills State University. She is happy to call Burns, Wyoming, home and enjoys living on her small acreage with her husband, Justin, and two daughters, Rachel and Rebecca.

Random Acts

  • Tansie spends most of her free time shuttling her two daughters from 4-H, rodeo, basketball and volleyball activities where she is their biggest fan and can usually be heard cheering words of encouragement and support above the crowd (which her daughters find very embarrassing at this point in their lives).
  • When she does find a free moment she enjoys working on the new family acreage.
  • An accomplished cook, she cherishes the culinary coaching received from Grandma Dodie.

Brushes with Greatness

  • During her senior year of high school she competed in four events at the South Dakota State High School Rodeo Finals on the same horse.
  • Tansie was awarded the Jade Mortenson Memorial Bible for Sportsmanship at the South Dakota State High School Rodeo Finals.
  • She feels that every day with her daughters is a peek into the great individuals that they are becoming. There is no greater legacy than shaping lives of children.
