Taylor is proud to be 3rd generation at Lawson Screen & Digital Products.

Named after the cross streets (Taylor and Newstead) of the original Lawson location, it’s rumored that Taylor has plastisol ink running through his veins.

Having started building exposure units at Lawson during his summer breaks from middle school, Taylor worked in various positions throughout the manufacturing process but took the long way to a full time career at Lawson. After graduating from Fordham University, Taylor managed research grants for Sloan-Kettering Hospital in New York City before getting his law degree from Washington University in St. Louis. After graduation, he moved to Chicago to practice insurance law and litigate pension issues for the State of Illinois.
