Taylor is known as a “jack of all trades, master of fun.” He has a broad range of experience in teaching, public speaking, acting, juggling, magic, mascot performance, puppetry, music, dance, event planning, sales and marketing, and writing.

Taylor has a passion for using quality entertainment for positive impact and a BIG heart for kids. While in college, he won the UCA National Mascot Championship representing Auburn University as their official mascot “Aubie the Tiger.” Taylor was honored when “Aubie” was inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame in 2005. Taylor then spent eight years performing as the mascot and dunk team director for the NBA Detroit Pistons basketball team, captivating crowds of 22,000 each night. 

He used his well-rounded experience to create EPIC Education in 2012. He now uses his best practices as a pro mascot and traveling entertainer to teach students powerful lessons on having great character, making good choices, and being a leader.
