About Taylor

Seasoned I.T. Operations Manager and U.S. Army veteran with over 15 years of hands-on experience in networking, systems administration, and cybersecurity across high-demand environments, from combat zones to corporate enterprises. I’ve led technical operations in both the public and private sectors, including telecommunications, education, healthcare, and the gaming industry.
With multiple deployments to Iraq and a proven record of excellence in the military, I bring a mission-focused mindset, strategic vision, and a deep technical skillset to every role. I’ve overseen infrastructure upgrades, implemented robust security protocols, and guided organizations through compliance with HIPAA, GLI, NIGC, and other regulatory frameworks. 
Currently serving as I.T. Operations Manager at Nisqually Red Wind Casino, I lead teams responsible for 24/7 network performance, secure system operations, and proactive cybersecurity measures.
Outside of work, I channel my creativity into writing and producing music, building apps, and exploring new technologies. I'm a guitarist in a death metal band, blending technical precision with raw intensity, just like in my professional work. I also enjoy cooking as a creative outlet and value quality time with my family. Whether I’m deep in code or crafting a riff, I’m always building something with passion and purpose.
