Vince D’Adamo: What did you enjoy most about competing in athletics throughout
your life?
Mike Taylor: I really enjoy competing against some of the best athletes to play the game. I enjoy reflecting on the successes and failures that each game or moment has taught me about life.
D’Adamo: What have you been doing since graduating from high school?
Taylor: I started my own business out of college. After that I got into software sales and I still play Independent baseball in the Pacific Association
D’Adamo: What was your favorite class at Vintage High?
Taylor: PE with Billy Smith of course
D’Adamo: How much do you feel you have grown personally since graduating from high school and how much of that do you trace to athletics?
Taylor: I think I have grown quite a bit since high school. Although I still do youthful activities (like baseball and Disneyland). I trace everything I know now back to athletics and rely on the experiences I have had athletically for my everyday life. Just like athletics I still have a lot to learn about myself and this world we live in.
D’Adamo: Within your family, who have been the most influential people?
Taylor: Definitely my parents and my brother. Each of them give me perspectives on life that sometimes I look over. They have been a huge help with my life today.
D’Adamo: Name a historical figure, dead or alive, in or out of sports you would most like to meet.
Taylor: JFK.
