<p>Taylor Hartman has joined TYPros as an intern this summer. Help us welcome him! Taylor is originally from San Diego California but I has lived in Tulsa for the past 18 years. Get to know him in his own words:</p>
<p><strong>What are some of your interests?</strong></p>
<p>Flying, working out, personal training, and brewing beer occasionally.</p>
<p><strong>Tell us about your family:</strong></p>
<p>I have a great family! I have a Mother named Michelle and a Father named Jeff and an older Brother named Ryan. I have extended family in Kansas, California, and Missouri.&nbsp; My family is pretty large and I am proud to come from such a caring and loving one.</p>
<p><strong>Claim to fame:</strong></p>
<p>I would have to say getting my Pilots license and Personal Training Certification.</p>
<p><strong>Favorite thing about Tulsa:</strong></p>
<p>All of the up and coming things that are coming into the downtown area.&nbsp; My family is involved in downtown growth; I love going to all of the new places and experiencing new things that this city has to offer.</p>
<p><strong>What is a skill or talent you don&rsquo;t possess but wish you did?</strong></p>
<p>The ability to speak another language.&nbsp; I feel being bilingual would be really essential in work and in everyday life.</p>
<p><strong>Song you can always rock out to:</strong></p>
<p>Anything new on the radio! I love all types of music from the new stuff to the oldies.&nbsp; Me and my brother use to be in a band together, so ever since I was young playing the drums I have always loved music.</p>
<p><strong>Five words that describe you best:</strong></p>
<p>Let&rsquo;s see..&nbsp; Caring, Loving, determined, honest, and loyal.</p>
<p><strong>What makes you most excited about joining the TYPros team?</strong></p>
<p>The experience and knowledge I will gain from working with exciting and motivating individuals who share the same goals as me.&nbsp; I am really looking forward to learning more about this branch of the chamber and to obtain as much experience as possible.&nbsp; I love the professional work setting and getting to meet such friendly people.</p>]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 19 May 2015 8:18:37 CST</pubDate></item><item><title>TYPros to give 61st &amp; Peoria area a makeover</title><link>http://www.typros.org/news/781/news/2238/0</link><description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Tulsa&rsquo;s Young Professionals&rsquo; fifth-annual Street CReD community redevelopment event on May 30 will center on 61st Street and Peoria Drive, bringing an army of volunteers from TYPros and across the city for a day of fun activities and hard work to further the neighborhood&rsquo;s ongoing transformation.]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 27 Jan 2015 8:18:37 CST</pubDate></item><item><title>TYPros raises nearly $12,000 for Tulsa Zoo in 2014</title><link>http://www.typros.org/news/781/news/2236/0</link><description><![CDATA[Tulsa&rsquo;s Young Professionals raised $11,634 for the Tulsa Zoo in 2014 as its volunteers dedicated dozens of events and fundraising efforts to helping the Zoo implement an innovative master plan to transform its offerings.]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 16 Jan 2015 8:18:37 CST</pubDate></item><item><title>A letter from the 2015 chair</title><link>http://www.typros.org/news/781/news/2234/0</link><description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Ten years ago, a group of optimistic and energetic leaders set out to change how young talent engaged with the Tulsa region.]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 6 Jan 2015 8:18:37 CST</pubDate></item><item><title>A farewell from our 2014 chair</title><link>http://www.typros.org/news/781/news/2233/0</link><description><![CDATA[&nbsp;As this year comes to an end, I am very thankful for the successes we have had with Tulsa's Young Professionals.
