Even though Tallon was born in Loveland, Colorado, he spent most of his life living in a small town named Pierce. When he was just five years old, he started volunteering at a wildlife rehabilitation center along side his father in Fort Collins where he fell in love with the profession. Once 18, he received his wildlife rehabilitation license from the state and was able to take another step in his career and begin working as a paid wildlife rehabilitator at Greenwood Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Longmont, Colorado, where he worked for over four years. He also received wildlife, forestry, and natural resources recreation certificates in 2014 from Front Range Community College.  In addition to working as a wildlife rehabilitator, Tallon has worked as veterinarian’s assistant, wildland firefighter, and personal care provider for the elderly.
