Born and raised a South of Gandy kid, Taylor grew up wreaking havoc amongst all of the South Tampa and Ybor City areas. His love for this city eventually led him to living in Ybor where he's resided for the past 13 years. A mechanic by trade, he has an accomplished resume ranging from shop ownership, to working for racing teams, to modifying high end exotic cars. Nominated two years in a row for "Best of the Bay - Best Auto Mechanic", Taylor seeks to use his meticulous and inquisitive nature to bring substance and intrigue to the podcast showcasing Ybor's rich history and colorful characters. Sitting as VP of the Historic Ybor Neighborhood Civic Association (HYNCA) in 2014 found him falling in love even further with this historic area. Find him in town on any given weekend evening with a nice cigar and possibly a stiff cocktail and start a conversation.

Tampa Native and award-winning tour guide Max Herman has seen and heard his fair share of the weird side of Ybor’s National Historic Landmark District. Growing up in the streets of Ybor City, this curious kid went from asking too many questions, to introducing the city to both travelers and locals alike. He sits on The Board of Directors of Circulo Cubano and owns the official title of “Best in the Bay - Best Person to Walk Around Ybor City With.”

During the day, you can catch Max shaking hands and smoking cigars with the higher ups of Ybor’s Society. At night, he hosts The Official Ybor City Ghost Tour. Named by TripAdvisor a “Top 10% Attraction Worldwide.”

Max’s love for the city is evident the moment you begin to speak with him. And by the end of your conversation, you will love Ybor City just as much.
