Taylor has dealt with stuttering since childhood. The speech disorder once forced him to to drop a college class when he discovered that an oral presentation would be required. When interviewed after games early in his professional hockey career, Taylor would attempt to conceal his stuttering by faking hyperventilation as a means of providing him with fluency. Taylor credits Los Angeles-based Speech-Language Pathologist Vivian Sheehan for assisting him in his triumph over stuttering.
Taylor and his wife Beth currently reside near Los Angeles with their two daughters, Jamie and Katie.
