Our President
Terence T. Taylor
President, CEO & Chairman of the Board
Terence T. Taylor is a disabled U.S. military war veteran with a background in public safety and has been involved in public service since he was 16 years old. As a young teenager, he decided to dedicate and commit the rest of his life to serving others. Mr. Taylor is a visionary and a person committed to purpose and excellence in service. The background and life experience of Mr. Taylor has enabled him to foster many great relationships with people from all walks of life and from all around the world.
While serving his country and his community, Mr. Taylor has personally experienced the grief and heartache of losing those who served with him and the devastation it has caused to coworkers, spouses, families, and small children. Additionally, Mr. Taylor has encountered so many families and small children who have lost their home due to a natural disaster resulting in them being temporarily or permanently homeless. These experiences prompted Mr. Taylor to start FOACDC, a trusted nonprofit to help victims of natural disasters, current military service members and their families/children, military veterans, and children/ families of first responders.
