Tim 2 Taylor

Tim 2 Taylor, was a child of the 60’s growing up in the slow paced, redneck turbulent south on the outskirts of Atlanta, Georgia. Throughout his school years, he struggled with undiagnosed dyslexia. A teenage girlfriend gave him his first book of poetry “The Prophet” by Kahlil Gibran, which awakened a passion for writing. After graduating, he married his junior high school sweetheart and moved to Florida. Sadly, the marriage ended two years later.

As an adult, Taylor remarried and started a career in advertising. He worked at several nationally ranked agencies as an art director and creative director. Taylor opened his own successful agency 23 years ago -Taylor Productions Inc.

He recently launched his second company - Fat As My Dad, LLC.

At the age of 45, Taylor flat-lined in the back of an ambulance. Having a near death experience only to be revived, he got a second chance at life. Hence the “2” in his name representing the “2nd “ life he’s living now.

Within a year he lost 99 pounds and was selected USA Today’s 2007 Weight-loss champion and reshaped his life forever.

Currently Tim 2 is a nationally recognized motivational health and fitness speaker and life coach, featured in magazines, radio and TV shows. He is the author of the fitness and weight-loss book “Fat As My Dad.”

In recent years Tim 2 has rediscovered his passion for writing poetry. He’s written three books of poetry: “The Found Poet - summer and The Found Poet - winter and his latest book "Wind."

Taylor is happily married and is a dedicated father to his beautiful daughter.
