About me

Born and raised in the small community of Klamath Falls, Oregon, I learned the value of relationship and service from an early age. My love for sports taught me the importance of hard work, persistence, and helping others. These principles led me to receive a B.S. in Business Management from the University of Nevada. I’m a firm believer that people power business and although ‘what’ you know is important, it really boils down to ‘who’ you know.

Prior to joining Guild Mortgage, I served my local business community in many capacities, primarily through sales and marketing efforts. Most notably, I helped the Reno + Sparks Chamber of Commerce quadruple their membership base in two years.

My value for networking eventually led me to Guild Mortgage, which allows me to combine my passion for people, service, and strategic planning. I consider it a privilege to help my clients achieve their financial goals. I understand the complexities of lending and the stress that often comes with this process, which is why earning their trust and becoming their lender for life is always my goal.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family. My wife (Cristyn) and I have three awesome children – Aiden, Aniya, and Enzo. Oh, and I can’t forget our dog, Chief!

Wanted to share my clients comments to me about Taylor Clients Comments - I have used B of A for several home purchases. Taylor was the first time not using them and he will be my guy moving forward. He was very patient and knowledgeable, answering all of my questions sometimes multiple times. He was always patient and always available to take my calls. I am Very Impressed with Taylor - As for me, this is exactly what I need from my Preferred Lender to ensure fluid transactions. He makes my job easier and I never feel stressed in a transaction when working with Taylor. 👍 👍 👍 👍
