Kevin Taylor, resides in Kirkland, Wa. with wife Angela, and sons Paul (7) and Joseph (5). Kevin grew up in Redmond, WA. He attended Redmond High School ('88) and Washington State University ('93), where he was also a member of Theta Chi Fraternity. Kevin spent his summers as a young man playing baseball for Redmond All-Stars, Burgermaster, Cadman and DOW. He grew up working at Cadman, a family owned company for 44 years.
Kevin's grandfather, Thor Magnussen purchased Cadman Gravel in 1946. Kevin spent many summers working in the "pit" running the various heavy machinery necessary to make concrete. The business grew, over the years, especially after Thor brought on his son-in-law Paul Jeffery Taylor in 1968.
Paul married Karen Magnussen in 1964. They had children Kristi, Kevin and Kelli. Paul and Karen attended WSU where Paul pitched for the Cougars, graduating in 1966. After a short lived career as a much loved P.E. teacher and coach, he went on to fill various positions at Cadman and to later running the company for 20 years, until its sale in 1990.
Obviously, much to his family's approval, Kevin went on to WSU in '88. It was there that he met the many life long friends he still has today. He graduated with a business degree and went straight to work! Kevin went to WSU knowing construction would be the path he would follow after school. He came on as partner of Red E Trucking and Topsoil. Within that line of work, he found that he had interest in land development. He went on to start Taylor Development Inc. in 1995. The business has grown from single family homes, to town home and condominiums, office parks, and commercial listings. Although always busy with work, Kevin regularly enjoys hunting, fishing, golfing, and loves nothing more when the NFL season begins.
Home life continues to get busier and louder with two growing boys at Sacred Heart School along with their swimming, soccer, football and baseball. Kevin and his dad Paul Sr. enjoy coaching Kirkland Baseball together each year in the spring.
Married (8/96), and together since high school, Kevin and Angela look forward to the winery as an exciting addition to their life. They see it as an opportunity to spend time together during harvest, crush, bottling and various wine events throughout the year.
