Brig Taylor
Founder & CEO
Brig came up with the idea for SlideBelts in 2004 while teaching abroad in Moldova, when he was given the gift of a ratchet belt.The utility of the belt was apparent, and with that inspiration, he designed the first prototype. By 2007, Brig started SlideBelts; the next year he was already selling belts to friends and family. Fast forward 10 years and SlideBelts has blossomed from a husband-wife duo to an energetic team of 26. As CEO, Brig is responsible for the vision, strategy, and direction of the company. In addition, he leads the Senior Executive Team, sets company culture standards, and allocates capital based on the company's priorities. From Irvine, CA.
