NEW YORK, Dec. 18, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ -- Ben Tankard, world renown cool jazz/gospel musician, NBA motivational speaker and co-star of Bravo's hit reality series "THICKER THAN WATER" is expanding his brand's reach with the assistance of Frank Reich with PROFILE SPORTSWEAR and SRG VENTURES with of a new line of men's active and casual sportswear for both regular sizes and Big & Tall. The new clothing collection, named "FULL TANK by Ben Tankard" builds on his massive music and TV success, and is an expression of Ben's unique personal style.
Tankard says, "I give the credit to God for all he is doing in my life and I'm very excited about this new brand launch. PROFILE'S and SRG's experience in the market speaks for itself and we are looking forward to bringing my FULL TANK line of savvy, sharp yet affordable active wear and sportswear to market. As a former pro basketball player, this has been a longtime dream of mine.... now it is finally coming to past."
FULL TANK incorporates the positive, motivational and inspirational messages that Ben shares with his fans and audiences through his music, books and lectures and TV show. FULL TANK by Ben Tankard is scheduled to be launched in 2014-2015 at U.S. retailers and online. His new book, "THE FULL TANK LIFE," will be released in conjunction with the launch.
As the pioneer and "Godfather" of the gospel-jazz music genre, Tankard is no newcomer to expansion and crossover.

Tankard has never had formal piano lessons and attributes his success to God. "My motto is to dream big, do the best you can, remain positive, and leave the miracles up to God," says Tankard.
Ben's music is available in stores and on itunes/amazon.
