Outside the office, Dr. Taylor enjoys an adventurous and active lifestyle. An avid mountain biker and dirt bike rider, he also loves backpacking, surfing, and scuba diving. When he's not exploring the outdoors, his favorite place to be is with his wife and their four sons, Graham, Miles, Harvey, and Danny. He and his wife have been married for 10 years, but their story goes back even further, as she was one of his best friends in high school. Together, they enjoy the excitement and adventures that come with raising four energetic boys.
