Name: Taylor Michel
Age: 28
Occupation: Founder/CEO
Name of business/workplace: Synalgic Studios
Grand goal:: To continue growing as a person and to leave an impact on those around me.
When not working, I … write and record music, play video games, longboard, work on woodworking projects and enjoy outdoor activities.
What I like most about Ocala: The best part of living in Ocala is seeing the rapid growth and expansion and getting to be a part of the entrepreneurial community.
Pet peeve: Cables being tangled or tied in a knot.
Philosophy in a word: Growth
Personal superpower: My love for learning new things.
If you could have a superhuman power, it would be … the ability to fly.
Community cause: 1 Million Cups Ocala. 1MC has given me the opportunity to connect and help other small business owners grow right here in Ocala. Shop local, right?
Guilty pleasure: Singing in the car
Historical dinner date: Hemiunu of Egypt. Second only to Khnum Khufu, the pharaoh of that time, Hemiunu is believed to be the architect behind the Great Pyramid of Giza. I would love the opportunity to pick his brain about the pyramids and how they were constructed.
People who know me say I am … wholesome
Biggest professional achievement: Reaching 200k+ downloads on an app that I developed.
Favorite part of my profession: The constant puzzle-solving involved in software engineering.
If there is one thing I indulge too much in, that would be … Pepsi.
