Anchorage Team

Founders


  • Founders

    Elaine and Larry are enjoying life catching exotic fish around the world. They have proudly watched their leadership take roots as the next generation has continued on with Taylored Traditions. We still see them as they check in through email and stop in when they are in town. We were very lucky to have had them pass so much knowledge to all of us who had the pleasure of working with them.

Leadership Team/Strategic Team

  • Manager/Owner

    Trent Taylor, Owner and General Manager of Taylored Restoration, has over 30 years of experience in the business, having worked alongside my parents, who founded the company. I was born in Portland, Oregon, and relocated to Alaska at the age of two weeks. I am a proud father of five children: three adult daughters, Jazmin, Toni, and Tiana, who are twins, as well as two younger children, Liv and Louis. In my free time, I enjoy spending quality moments with my family and engaging in skiing, fishing, traveling, hiking, and hunting. Additionally, I contribute to the community by volunteering with the Gomez Foundation, which assists underprivileged children in accessing hockey, and the Rush Soccer Club. I have completed two half Ironman competitions and a mountain marathon, and I was also the chess champion during elementary school. My appreciation for working at Taylored Restoration stems from my relationships with my colleagues, the satisfaction that comes from helping others, and the supportive, family-oriented environment we foster here.

My husband, John, and I have been married since 1996, and together we are raising our wonderful daughter, Haileigh, who is pursuing a career in education while competing in figure skating.

  • Administrative Assistant

    My name is Teresa Tank, and I am a member of the Taylored Front Desk/Office Support staff. I relocated to Alaska a year and a half ago from Montana. During the summer months, I enjoy spending time by the water, while in the winter, I find comfort in watching romantic comedies and dramas, with a particular fondness for Asian dramas. In my leisure time, I like to explore smaller towns, travel, shop, and cherish moments with my loved ones. I have a Goldador (a mix of Labrador and Golden Retriever) named Montana, who has been a part of my life for six years. Recently, I took a solo trip to Las Vegas for a floral design class, which resulted in meeting my long-term boyfriend; we have been together for three years. This experience encouraged me to step outside of my comfort zone and explore new places independently. I have always dreamed of living by the ocean, although I am not a fan of cold weather. Interestingly, Alaska was never on my list of desired travel destinations, but it seems God has a sense of humor.
