Tab Spangler is the director of Serenity Ranch, a maximum security fat camp which Bart attended after he got fat from the Scammer and Z-Dog snacks from the school vending machines.

Tab Spangler is a veteran of the Marines. He started working at Serenity Ranch after he retired from the military, and his military background shows in his mannerisms: namely, his style of speaking which always sounds like he's giving orders. Spangler's military background also shows in the treatments he administers to his fat camp clients: waking them up by clanging garbage cans and lids; making them run and cracking a whip at them; and tearing them down by forcing them to admit to their own role in their weight gain.

Spangler is in his 40s but no older than 47. When he asked Marge to guess his age and she guessed 47, Spangler got angry and said it hurt when people's guesses were over, or even when they were correct. He didn't specify whether Marge's guess was over or correct.
