80: Al & Michelle Taylor of Special Moments Catering and Events

A little about our guests. Al and Michelle met on a last minute blind date in Detroit. After relocating to Arizona with her family, Michelle and Al stayed in touch and were soon engaged. Al has a military background and served on the Tempe police force for 22 years. Michelle was an LPN (nurse). After their daughter Dawn was born, Michelle started Special Moments in 1984 as a cake designer and grew the business from there. Al and Michelle have 2 children. Both work in the family business. A little about their business. Let’s start by saying we just recently used Special Moments Catering for an event here in Phoenix, AZ and they were amazing. Michelle started the company in 1984 and Al helped out from the beginning. In 1996 Al took over the management portion as the CEO. Dawn and Brad, their children, started working in the family business and worked their way up to VP positions. Special Moments Catering and Events does catering for all kinds of events and all sizes. One piece of advice (the nutshell version) Take the time to really listen to each other. Don’t make assumptions. Listen with the intent to learn, not with the intent to respond.
