Taylor's early life was marked by a fascination with BMX ramps and a strong work ethic, which he developed on the vast plains of South Dakota. This foundation would later serve him well as he pursued a degree in Communication Studies and Theatre from the University of Sioux Falls.
During his time at USF, Taylor honed his skills as a performer, appearing in over 10 college theatre productions and creating a plethora of sketches that showcased his creative talents. His academic pursuits were not limited to the stage, as he also earned a Bachelor of Arts degree, which he proudly claims to be utilizing, even if no one has ever asked to see it.
After completing his education, Taylor made the bold decision to relocate to Los Angeles, driven by a passion for a creative career with acting as the primary focus. His impressive resume boasts a range of notable credits, including recurring roles on ABC's The Middle and Jimmy Kimmel Live!, as well as numerous commercials and appearances.
However, Taylor's creative endeavors extend far beyond the realm of acting. He is a talented artist, with a flair for stencil graffiti and woodworking. His paintings have been commissioned for high-profile brand launches, red carpet events, and over 200 personal collections, solidifying his reputation as a skilled and versatile artist.
Moreover, Taylor is the innovative mind behind the cassette tape coffee table, a unique design that has garnered international recognition, with patents in seven countries. This remarkable achievement is a testament to his imagination, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit.
Despite his many accomplishments, Taylor's greatest role is that of a devoted father. The arrival of his baby boy in 2015 marked the beginning of a new chapter in his life, one that he has chronicled through his popular weekly vlog, Dude Dad. This humorous and informative series offers a candid glimpse into the world of a new father, blending humor, wit, and vulnerability in equal measure.
