During his high school peak in sports at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in his birthplace, he was named the best All-State Outfielder, which naturally furthered his interest in this career path. Having matriculated in 2001, he then enrolled iton the University of Miami with an athletic scholarship, from where he graduated with a degree in business administration, prior to being drafted in 2004.

He transferred twice in 2006, primarily from the said team to Reno Silver Sox, after which he joined Swing of the Quad Cities. In 2007, he signed a contract with Nashua Pride, but paused his career in 2008. The next year, he began playing for the team that contributed the most to his popularity – Southern Maryland Blue Crabs, where he remained for four years, until ending his professional baseball career in 2012.

He named his business “Athlete Asset Management” at Global Wealth Management, where he also serves as a financial adviser, as stated on his profile page.

She has two brothers, Noah and Jason Taylor, the latter of whom spent 15 seasons as a defensive NFL player, most prominently in the Miami Dolphins from 1997 to 2007.
Richard’s Plan
During his interview for the Baseball Historian, conducted on the 18th of May 2012, when asked about his plans following the end of his professional baseball career, Richard replied ‘I’ve always been interested in becoming a businessman. I got my degree in finance from Miami, but I’ve also known for a few years now that I want to stay around the game of baseball. So I think my best fit would to try to be involved with baseball operations or possibly becoming an agent. I currently am part owner of a small clothing line called “Bubucheek Clothing” that I started with two friends a few years ago and it’s a lot of fun. I also enjoy writing and have dabbled in writing screenplays, as I’ve completed three.’
