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!

Taylor was honest and transparent throughout the entire process. He made it easy to understand the options and sent numbers for different houses within minutes of the request. He talked through different scenarios and seemed to have unlimited patience. This was a much better experience than my first home buying experience. Also his assistant Torrey was amazing. I felt like both of them wanted to help at all times.

Taylor helped me and my wife understand the process very well and got us a better loan at a better rate than anywhere else. Could not have gotten the home we wanted without his help.
