I’m Taylor, a Denver native who grew up riding city buses, playing sports to dodge trouble, and learning how a little help at the right time can change everything. My story isn’t your average one—it’s a journey of resilience, mentorship, and an unwavering belief in the power of education and authentic relationships.I’ve tackled challenges big and small: completing overdue audits, building a college baseball program from scratch, ideating and fundraising for projects others couldn’t, leading a community through two wildfire evacuations, and keynote speaking. I believe in rolling up my sleeves, leaning into integrity and transparency, and finding humor even in the toughest moments.As a former college baseball player and coach, I know what it takes to hustle, adapt, and play the long game. My love for strategy and numbers is grounded in one simple truth: the details matter. Small wins, tracked and nurtured, lead to big victories. But at the heart of it all? People. I’ve spent my career advocating for students and adults from backgrounds like mine because I know how life-changing a single opportunity can be.I’m also deeply shaped by mentorship. As a 33-year 'Little' in Big Brothers Big Sisters, I’ve seen the transformative power of having someone in your corner. Now, I work to be that person for others—not to save them, but to carry their paper and cheer them on as they climb. I’m not here to be a hero—I’m here to make a difference. And my journey? It’s unlike anything you’ve heard before.I’m all about connecting with people who believe in community, tackling real problems, being authentic, and leading with heart. Want to chat about leadership? Strategic planning? Aliens? Baseball? (Because let’s be honest, baseball is forever.) Let’s skip the pretense, get real, and see where the conversation takes us.
