Why I Built Taylor Made Everything

Over the years, I've had countless people tell me the same thing:

"I had no idea you did that."

Some people know me as a veteran. Others know me through the fire service. Some know me as an author, publisher, coffee company owner, clothing brand creator, woodworker, tattoo artist, or entrepreneur.

The truth is, I've always enjoyed building things.

Sometimes that means building a business. Sometimes it means writing a book. Sometimes it's creating artwork, crafting something by hand, or helping others bring their ideas to life. No matter the project, I've always been drawn to the process of creating something that didn't exist before.

The challenge was that all of these ventures lived in separate places.

A coffee company here.

A publishing company there.

Books on one website.

Projects on another.

Over time, I realized that while the businesses were different, the purpose behind them was the same.

They were all extensions of the same journey.

Taylor Made Everything was created to bring those pieces together.

Not because I do everything.

But because every one of these projects represents a chapter in a larger story about service, creativity, entrepreneurship, and growth.

This website isn't just a collection of businesses. It's a reflection of the experiences that shaped them.

From military service to civilian life.

From writing books to launching businesses.

From serving in the fire department to helping authors publish their work.

Each project taught me something. Each challenge pushed me to grow. Each success and failure became part of the story.

As I continue building new ventures and pursuing new ideas, Taylor Made Everything will serve as the place where those journeys come together.

Whether you're here for books, coffee, publishing, apparel, woodworking, tattoos, the upcoming Why We Serve podcast, or simply to follow along, I'm glad you're here.

Thanks for being part of the journey.

There's always something new being built.
