Ryan Taylor is an award-winning entrepreneur and visionary who has been featured on CNN, and in Entrepreneur magazine, the Los Angeles Times and many other publications. Taylor has been honored by the Los Angeles City Council for his philanthropic efforts to educate and feed children in under-served communities. He is also a proud member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc..

The story of HONK! came to Taylor, while sitting in traffic on the 405 freeway in Los Angeles, California. He wanted to write a story that would bring people together, at a time when we all seemed so isolated.  Taylor hopes the young and not-so young will be moved by Benny’s ah-ha moment, to treat others with empathy.

When Taylor is not enjoying ‘fambam’ time with his children, extended family and close friends, he takes pleasure in playing golf, swimming, writing and developing business systems that make brands immortal.
