First Impressions

Though 52-year-old Deb Taylor didn’t look anything like her well-known uncle, Glen Taylor, of North Mankato-based Taylor Corporation, the Taylor flair for fluid conversation and business acumen became apparent after we spent 90 minutes interviewing her at Taylor Corporation headquarters. She is now Glen’s right hand. Born in Seoul, South Korea, and adopted at age seven by Glen Taylor’s older brother, Roger, Deb Taylor made a name for herself out East before arriving in North Mankato in 2011 at her uncle’s invitation. She chose Connect Business Magazine as a safe place to share her world with yours.

Other business owners featured in this issue of southern Minnesota’s only locally owned business magazine include Daryle and Connie Pomranke of Blue Earth-based Winnebago Manufacturing, and Wendy Emler of Century 21 Northland Realty, in Fairmont.

Taylor, the Pomrankes, and Emler all have something in common. They are making first impressions on you.

We hope you enjoy our mix here in terms of company scope:  Taylor Corporation has more than 80 companies and sells the world; the Pomrankes primarily have Upper Midwest clients; and Emler and her real estate agents mainly cover Martin and surrounding counties.

Sursum ad summum,
