About the Owner

Glenn D. Taylor was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1954. At the age of 13, his life was marked by profound loss and trauma when both of his parents passed away within a short period of time. These experiences deeply impacted his youth, leading to a season of anger and struggle.

Mr. Taylor was lovingly raised by his grandmother, whose stability and care became a foundation in his life. In addition, an uncle and cousin played a pivotal role by intentionally mentoring him—exposing him to positive environments, new experiences, and constructive influences that inspired him to pursue a better path.

Through his own journey of healing and growth, Mr. Taylor developed a deep passion for helping young men, particularly teens who are struggling. He has long emphasized the importance of honoring parents, developing character, and learning essential life skills. This passion led him to begin community-based mentoring efforts, personally investing time to guide troubled youth through practical life lessons and spiritual development.

Today, that lifelong calling has evolved into a new and meaningful project: the establishment of a group home dedicated to supporting young men currently in foster care or those aging out of the foster care system. Through this initiative, Mr. Taylor seeks to provide a safe, structured, and nurturing environment where young men can grow, heal, and step confidently into a hopeful future.
