“Taylor is the type of leader that you will yourself to be. One that can always be called up, goes out of their way to ensure the goal is reached, and one that, above all, is a friend. From the first call I had with Taylor, he went above and beyond to make sure that we were building the foundational components to see huge outcomes and I can't thank him enough for that. If you have the opportunity to work with him, consider yourself blessed.”

“Taylor is an emotionally intelligent and inclusive leader who knows the right amount of support and pressure you need to push through any blocks in your way. His advice to the toughest of situations seems to come so effortlessly to him, but you will learn that it is from over a decade of first-hand experience that we all get to benefit from. In whatever capacity you get the chance to work with Taylor, you and your company will be better for it.”

— Shavon Lindley

Co-Founder & CEO at ion Learning

“Taylor has a natural talent for bringing out the best in people and inspiring them to achieve their full potential. He is the person you need in your team because he speaks from EXPERIENCE and is always there when you need him. As a leader, Taylor is patient, empathetic, and always willing to listen to feedback from others.”

— Diego Montemayor

Founder & CEO at Chamba

“I am convinced he is the ideal advisor. I plan on partnering with him on my future ventures.

Taylor was not afraid to take a hands on approach and help me solve the most pressing challenges. He invested the time to understand our challenges at the strategy and execution layers. He is the sort of partner that picks up the phone when shit has hit the fan to help you sort out the path forward.

What distinguishes Taylor is that he always challenged me, pushing me to improve personally and drive the business to the next level. While challenging us, Taylor always showed us respect as the team operating the business day to day. This balance is what helped him influence me and our team effectively and contribute to our growth and success.”

— Andrés Benavides

CEO & Co-Founder at Cometa

“Taylor’s superpower is listening to my rambling on an idea or a problem and asking the question or suggesting research which leads to the ‘aha’ moment. When I had an idea for my first company, Taylor listened to a very rough idea and suggested a structure and people I should meet, which set me up for success. When my current company was contemplating debt versus equity financing, Taylor suggested some options we had not considered and ultimately the path we chose. Taylor is a great friend and advisor and a real asset to any founder.”

— Joshua Holley

VP of Finance and Operations at StellarFi

“Look, Taylor rocks. Work with him if you get the chance - it's really that simple. He's got great initiative, is super smart, hard working, and straightforward. I worked with him on a few projects around Techstars and enjoyed every minute of it.”

— David Cohen

Co-Founder & Managing Member, Techstars

“I met Taylor 5 years ago when he asked me to speak at the inaugural Patriot Boot Camp—a free seminar for Veterans looking to enter the IT space. I was immediately impressed with his understanding not only of business, but with the macro economic factors affecting the innovation environment. I have served on the Patriot Boot Camp Board of Directors with him for the past 4 years, and he is a thoughtful, big-picture director who has made a significant impact on the organization.”

— Gen. George Casey, U.S. Army, Retired

36th Chief of Staff of the Army

“Taylor is a machine, always there at the other end of the line ready to help. He has strong business instincts and the wider perspective on the impact beyond profit that really matters at the end of the day.”
