Taylor.

A lifelong questioner of conventional wisdom.
A firm believer in a little irreverent humor.

Rowdy Taylor has been called Rowdy for decades, and he’s done little to discourage it.

An entrepreneur, traveler, and lifelong questioner of conventional wisdom, Rowdy has spent much of his life building businesses, raising six children, and discovering that the most interesting roads rarely lead where you expected.

He lives in coastal Florida with his wife of more than three decades. Together, they share a love of adventure and the freedom that comes from charting their own course. Their next chapter involves exploring the world aboard a sailing catamaran—assuming they can agree on which one to buy.

Rowdy and Jennifer smiling together at the helm of a Balance 526 sailing catamaran.

Rowdy writes about human nature, the uses and abuses of power, and love that holds up when life gets complicated. He also believes that even in the darkest moments, there’s room for a little irreverent humor.

Current 27 is the first adventure in the Trout and Sage Blackwell series.
