A Seattle native, Taylor has competed in a variety of sports his entire life. He was a collegiate baseball player at Green River College before transferring to play three more years at the University of Puget Sound. This is where he earned his Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science and then added a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through NSCA. While Taylor has experience training a wide variety of individuals, his philosophy is about becoming an expert at the basics and individualizing a program towards a client’s specific needs and goals. He believes ‘we have to walk before we can run. Technique and exercise execution is everything. If you are not performing an exercise properly then the intended purpose of the exercise is missed’. Whether it is sports performance or playing with kids, Taylor believes that executing a proper exercise program can benefit any individual.

Outside of the gym, Taylor enjoys staying active with activities like golf, snowboarding, and paddle boarding. He is also a big Seattle sports fan so stop by to talk about the Mariners and Seahawks!
