Mendota, Minn (emergingminds.org) — There’s nothing unusual about a 12- year-old who doesn’t have enough money to buy a coveted video game. But how many of those kids are clever enough to create their own game, instead? Of those few, how many then find that prospective customers are eager to buy their creation, literally turning the boy-creator into a successful businessman overnight? For Ephren Taylor, that was just the beginning of his meteoric rise. Today, that 12-year-old has grown into the 23-year-old CEO of a publicly traded company.
Taylor, CEO of Amoro Corporation ( http://www.AmoroCorp.com ) was recently also elected CEO of City Capital Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: CCCN.OB), a business development corporation in Mendota, Minn. The appointment makes Taylor one of the youngest CEOs of a publicly traded company. Moreover, he has the distinction of being the youngest African-American CEO of a public company.
AmoroCorp developed from another company he founded in 1999 that handled the investments of others: COC Ventures. The concepts he developed for COC Ventures are what earned him the coveted Kansas Young Entrepreneur of the Year award in 2002.
“We aren’t put here just to get as much as we can,” says Taylor. “I believe we all have a purpose, and an expectation to give back, to help those less fortunate.”
His successes have been frequently acknowledged along the way. He was named Kansas Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2002 by the Kansas Department of Commerce for his investment concepts, which he utilizes in AmoroCorp and City Capital. He still works with churches, as well as private investors and other nonprofits. Most recently, mega-entertainer Snoop Dogg asked AmoroCorp to manage the endowment funds for the Snoop Youth Football League Foundation.
Being 23 and the CEO of a public company turns heads. “I may be young to have such a position,” says Taylor, “but I bring a lot of experience and knowledge of what it takes to accomplish our business goals. I’m focused and excited about the possibilities being public provides. There are a lot of cities needing what we do
