Taylor, his wife Gina, son Benjamin, and dog Lou reside in the Mars, PA suburb of Pittsburgh. Taylor established the Better Together Foundation with the hope of uniting a sprawling network of friends, family, professional colleagues, and neighbors who no longer call one geographic location home. Many charitable organizations are defined and restricted by a certain community they serve geographically. Better Together is designed to break those geographic barriers and allow our mission to serve our collective community in a more targeted and personal manner.
