Taylor trains at NEVERsate Athletics in Carroll County, Md. In 2018, he was featured in a story by Baltimore's WMAR-2 News that shared his workout journey over the previous year. Taylor, a photographer, started working out at NEVERsate after Myers asked him to take photos of a strongman competition.

According to WMAR, Taylor set a U.S. record for his weight class last year when he deadlifted 156 lbs. Video of the lift went viral and now has over 16,000 likes.
