This is my eighth year of teaching.  Before coming to Jefferson Jr. High, I taught 5th grade at Westbrook Elementary and 6th grade at Jim Bridger Elementary.  I received a Bachelor's Degree at Western Governors University.  I also have a Gifted & Talented endorsement from Southern Utah University, as well as an ESL endorsement from Weber State University.  I am currently working on a Master's Degree in American History through Pace University (NYC).
​
Twelve more facts about me:  
1.  I grew up in Bennion, Utah. 
2. I was educated in the Granite School District. (Plymouth Elem. / Eisenhower J.H.S. / Taylorsville H.S.)
3. My wife and I have been married for 27 years.
4. We have five children: four girls and one boy.
5. Before becoming a teacher, I was a radio DJ for 20 years. (photos below)
6. I also performed stand-up comedy on occasion.  (video below)
7. I portray a teacher in a BYU Vocal Point music video. ​(video below - I show up  around 3:14)
8. My favorite animal is a shark.
9. I have been collecting Pez dispensers since I was seven-years-old.  I have almost 500. 
10. I speak Spanish, and I'm currently teaching myself Italian and Portuguese.
11. I have been an Elvis impersonator for various events. 
​12. I became an ordained minister in 2021. (You can call me "The Minister of Music")

Where's Mr. Taylor?

This is my 6th grade class photo.  Can you tell which of these kids is me?

Christine Brown from the TV show Sister Wives was one of my classmates. 
(If you can find my picture, she is next to me.)

Radio

1995-1998
2000-2001
For most stations, I used my real name.  However, I did go by a few other names:
  • Mike Myers (K-Rock 103.1 / Rock 99)
  • John 'Doc' Holliday (Classic Country AM 700)
  • Eric Chase (Oldies 94.1)
This is an excerpt from an article featured in the Deseret News on August 13, 2004:

I also had the opportunity to do commercials, including a few years as 'Jake' for Tim Dahle Nissan.
(By the way, the scream you hear is mine!)

Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.
