Taylor said: "We have to develop a business idea. Every time I see a baseball tournament in Alabama, I realize that children can be injured and parents have no medical kits available. I want to solve that problem. "

Initially, Taylor opened mobile stores in tournaments to sell first aid kits. However, the boy quickly realized, this solution is not feasible because "the cost to pay the seller for 6 hours is too expensive".

From there, the boy came up with the idea of ​​a machine that could replace humans doing this job.

Taylor sketches the design, consulting her parents. Both are health workers. They are radiographers and fitness recovery coaches.

Taylor is currently the youngest businessman at Round House. Here, he has his own office, can reach the consulting team and exchange 20% of the shares for an investment of $ 50,000.

"Taylor took advantage of every minute outside the school to study RecMed's development. The boy was so focused that we had to drag him to the street on Christmas Eve," Sandler said.

Taylor said, he will pursue business and college pathways that will help him do that.

"I want to go to Notre Dame because the business training environment is very good. I'm also a football fan there" - he shared.
