In 1975, Roger's father passed away and he did not know for several months that his mother had to borrow the money needed for funeral and burial expenses. Roger was horrified and heartbroken, and entered into the life insurance business with a mission not to let his mother's experience happen to anyone else. As a sharecropper's son, he knew the value of hard work. Since 1976 when he founded Roger G. Taylor and Associates, he has had a very successful career by pursuing his passion of protecting clients against financial devastation.
In 2016, Roger transitioned ownership to Sarah Dixon and Shanna Strickland who have been assisting his clients since 2005. He continues to be available to Sarah, Shanna, and clients in a retired senior advisor role. The transition has allowed him to serve more in the community and spend time with his wife, Gaile, along with their seven children and twelve grandchildren.
