A Maine native, Taylor graduated summa cum laude from George Washington University, earned an M.A. from Columbia University, and earned his J.D. from Yale Law School, where he worked in the Veterans Legal Services Clinic representing veterans denied disability benefits. After law school he clerked for two federal judges: Judge J.

He then practiced at a New York firm before returning to Maine. Ben Gideon recruited him to help found Gideon Asen LLC in 2020.

In 2024, Taylor and Trevor Savage won a $2.4 million medical malpractice verdict in Penobscot County.
