Who we are and where we came from

In 1998 Don Taylor was retired and looking for something to keep him busy and his mind sharp. So he started repairing electric fence chargers. He would travel weekly throughout North Alabama with his wife Diana Taylor to small farm stores to collect chargers and repair them to return the next week. 

 He gained experience repairing all types and brands of electric fence chargers. He noticed that the same type of failure was damaging all brands of electric fence chargers and thought "I can make a better fence charger". He started in his basement and made one charger and sold it and made two more. His electronics training from the air force and his 30+ years experience in customer service for IBM gave him the background he needed to run a successful business. 

 In 2008, Don retired and his son Mark Taylor bought the business. Mark is an electrical engineer who had 20 years experience working with Alabama Power (he developed an interest in electrons at an early age watching Don build projects at his workbench). 

 Mark has grown the business, and used his knowledge as an engineer to vastly improve the fence chargers transformers and lightning protection. Currently, Mark does engineering design of the Cyclops Fence Charger line, and works to make their chargers more efficient and effective. 

 The daily operations of Taylor Fence are managed by Alex Taylor (Mark's son) at our office in Ashville Alabama. In addition to running the daily business, Alex gives technical and phone support to customers. He also handles the inventory and parts requisition as well as overseeing the manufacturing process.

As we continue to grow and move forward we promise to always provide the same personal service and care towards our customers and honor where it all started.
