Taylor Roesch is a Gaffer and rental house owner who works throughout the mid-Atlantic on commercial projects as well as television and feature films. Taylor got his membership into IATSE Local #487 while working on Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln. Teamwork, problem solving, and always having fresh-brewed coffee are some of Taylor’s reasons for working in this industry.
While pursuing his undergraduate degree at Virginia Wesleyan University, Taylor focused most of his attention on documentary film.  This led him to pursue his own projects after graduation while getting his MAIS in Film Studies at George Mason University.  With his extensive knowledge of lighting equipment and coursework in educational technology, Taylor produced a video tutorial series on HMI lighting and ballast repair for his masters thesis.
You’ll have a friend for life in Taylor if you can talk about any of these subjects at length; podcasts, NBA basketball, sheet metal fabrication, or Frasier.
