==Early life==
Michael Taylor was born in 1964〔 to Graham and Brenda Taylor of Pedmore, Stourbridge England.〔 He is the youngest of three children, and at an early age had a strong affinity for sports, stating "as a child I drove everyone mad – I was always up to mischief; I lived outdoors, doing sports or riding my motocross bike." As a child he participated in cricket and mountain biked, and in school he played rugby〔 for the Stourbridge Rugby Club and ran for the Midlands.〔〔 He also hiked and skied.〔
Taylor has also stated he loved water and watersports from a young age, saying "At the age of three, much to the horror of my mother, my uncle threw me in at the local pool and I simply swam to the ladder with a big grin on my face. From that moment I never looked back. I was never trained to swim, it came naturally." He swam competitively in school,〔 later rowed for a Birmingham club, and picked up windsurfing and water skiing.〔
