Plumbing Designer IV - Engineering/Architecture/Construction/ConsultingMr. Taylor grew up in Purvis, Mississippi. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Architectural Engineering Technology at the University of Southern Mississippi. He began his career as a plumbing designer in Houston straight out of college. Mr. Taylor began by designing different types of local commercial projects. After two years, he advanced to senior plumbing designer at HOK, one of the largest architectural/engineering firms in the world. There he gained experience working on international projects, learning to meet unusual criteria for a variety of clientele. After earning his certification in plumbing design, in a joint effort with a co-worker, he decided to start helping other designers in Houston prepare for the CPD exam. He has been teaching this course for roughly 18 years now and has expanded to the Society level both in and outside the United States. Mr. Taylor became a full member of ASPE in 2004 and served as a delegate at the 2004 convention in Cleveland, Ohio, 2010 convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 2012 Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, 2014 Convention in Chicago, Illinois, 2018 Convention in Atlanta, Geogria and 2022 Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana. He is currently serving on the board of directors of the Houston Chapter as chair for the Board of Governors. Mr. Taylor served as co-chair, then chair of the ASPE Houston Product Show, as past Houston Chapter president and is currently on the Society Education Committee. With a coordinated effort, along with the DFW ASPE chapter, started the OKC ASPE chapter and was an interim president for two years. Mr. Taylor is currently at CRB as a senior plumbing/fire protection designer. After nine years in Houston, he decided to move to Norman, Oklahoma for a slower pace of life and to start a family. Before moving back to the Houston area, he was in Oklahoma for five years. Mr. Taylor has been back with the Houston Chapter of ASPE since 2013. He and his wife Jean are blessed with one child, Savannah Jane Taylor.
