Zachary T. Taylor was born and raised in Silver City, New Mexico, where his parents still reside. He moved to Santa Fe after completing law school to join the law firm of Hinkle Shanor and work with the medical negligence defense team. Litigation has proven to be a natural fit for him given his competitive disposition, and he is motivated to provide his clients with zealous, ethical, and professional advocacy at all times.

He has been a competitive bowler since the age of 5 and still competes periodically, as much as his schedule allows.
