Taylor grew up in the tumbleweed capital of America, Eagle Mountain, Utah. He spent his early years with his eyes glued to books, reading about the wonders of the world, and hoping to experience it for himself someday

He discovered his love for the outdoors in late high school, when he was given a camera and told to go capture something beautiful. He quickly took to this new hobby and fell madly and deeply in love with the wilderness. The connection and harmony felt in the wild is a gift, and so it built his spirit.

At a loss for what to do next, but knowing the love he felt from the juniper trees, he wanted to find some way to share this magnificent world. It was at this point he discovered Elements, and their mission spoke to him. Being a kindhearted, good-natured person, he now discovered a new love. He is now helping people in hard situations, to see the love that surrounds us all, the love that comes from within, and sharing in the majesty of the everyday.

On his off shift, you can find Taylor listening to beautiful music, hiking and photographing the beautiful scenery of the Utah wilderness, and being a general disturbance to the local cow population (they make good photographic muses).
