My name is Chris Taylor and I hail from the great windy city of Chicago, IL. My parents were both raised in Utah but moved to Chicago while my mom was pregnant with my twin brother and yours truly. Four years later my little albino brother ...actually all my brothers are now taller than me : ( ... was born and two years later a final little brother. Four strapping young men. Growing up I loved sports and started out with baseball in little league. I was never an all star with a bat but played a pretty good second base. Even though I gave up baseball my freshman year I became an active follower of the Chicago White Sox and still am today. When I got to high school at an incredibly beefy 76 lbs and standing a whopping 4 ft 9 inches I felt like my aspirations of being a great athlete would never materialize. Then the wrestling coach approached me and told me in wrestling you only are faced by opponents your size. I joined and quickly fell in love with the sport. This year I will be assistant coaching at Mountain View and have coached wrestling for 3 years. When I graduated from highschool I moved by myself to Provo to attend BYU. I am a history teaching major and coaching/phys ed minor. After a year of BYU I went on an LDS mission to Brasilia, Brazil. When I got home I continued my studies at BYU and there I met my lovely wife Christina who also works in education teaching kindergarten. Three weeks ago the two of us had our first little baby, a little girl named Mariel Marie.
