His three-year term began Jan. 1.
A sixth-generation Santa Barbaran, Taylor earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration at California State University-Chico before starting his career as a loan officer at Goleta National Bank.
He went on to open and manage Metrocities Mortgage, which was subsequently acquired by Prospect Mortgage in 2007.
