About Us
Taylor Nelson
My name is Taylor Nelson and I'm one of the PE teachers here at Saint John XXIII. I was born and raised here in Phoenix, AZ where I attended public school K-8th and then went to Brophy College Prep for High School. While at Brophy, I played on the Varsity hockey team for three years. After leaving Brophy I attended NAU and GCU, where received my undergrad in Sports Management. I then went back to GCU and received my masters degree in Secondary Education. Along with teaching at St. John XXIII, I am one of the Varsity hockey coaches for the Notre Dame Prep Saints. When I'm not at school or the hockey rink I enjoy spending time with my family. My wife Carrie is a PE teacher and cheer coach at Bourgade Catholic High School. I have two sons, Landon (3 years old) and Carter (1 year old). I could not be more excited for this school year and the opportunity to teach here at Saint John XXIII. I'm looking forward to a great school year.
