Taylor Larimore is a longtime disciple of finance guru John C. Bogle and an original Boglehead. Since 1986, he has used Bogle’s financial teachings to improve his portfolio and help others learn how to invest wisely. He co-authored “The Bogleheads’ Guide to Investing” with Michael LeBoeuf and Mel Lindauer.

Larimore maintains an active role in the Bogleheads’ online forum. The community’s purpose is “to give ordinary investors a fair shake” by following advice inspired by Bogle. From 2001 to 2020, Larimore hosted a contest on the website to help new and old investors alike recognize the risks and rewards of stock market investing.

He worked over nine decades in finance and investment, and he brings all that experience to other investors with his books and through the forums. He also enjoys sailing and teaching others how to sail. His wife, Pat, shared 62 years of marriage with him before she passed away.
