Meet the Curator
Museum of Conspiracies curator Steven L. Taylor spent his earliest, developmentally crucial years in the comparatively cosmopolitan metropolis of Frankfurt, Germany, before coming to spend the remainder of his formative years in a small, unincorporated backwater of Northwest Florida named Bayou George.
It was here, in the swampy underbelly of the American South, that he first gained an appreciation for the cultural significance of gossip, slander and the various other forms of idle speculation that figure so prominently in rural society.
He would later go on to attend Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida, where he met his future wife, Lori G., in an advanced poetry workshop taught by David Kirby (not the infamous anti-vaccination crusader and conspiracy theorist, mind you, but the National Book Award nominated poet and critic).
After dropping out of FSU only a semester short of earning his undergraduate degree, he spent several years working full-time as a legal code copy editor.
He and Lori G. eventually married and settled permanently in Tallahassee, where they became active in the local independent music scene as recording artists and performers. Finally returning to FSU to complete his coursework after a three year hiatus, he earned a BA in English with a minor in Philosophy.
In addition to his part-time role as curator of this Museum, Steven currently occupies himself with the more primary tasks of being a husband to Lori G., parenting his young son Ander Lee, running his fledgling independent record label, producing new music for his band Tangemeenie, and working steadily at his full-time day job as a software developer and IT consultant.
