Wednesday, November 15th, 2023 -- 10:00 AM

Two Black River Falls Chamber Board members were selected as 2023 Rising Stars Under 40.

Jack Taylor is the holder of the national collegiate single game scoring record in basketball when he scored 138 points in 2012 while playing for Grinnell College. But today his passion is being a proud booster and supporter of his hometown of Black River Falls through his video production work.

Jack says whether it’s his local video podcast, outdoor adventure shows or family vlogs, his goal is to give back to his hometown. His Facebook page has more than 11,000 followers.

Jack is involved with the Black River Area Chamber of Commerce and is trustee for the Black River Falls Area Foundation and was one of the hosts for Discover Wisconsin. He also teaches youth basketball.

Jack says he learned leadership when he was the captain of his high school and college teams and now uses those leadership qualities in his family, career and community.

His advice is to give more than you take, give without expectation, work hard and character matters and invest in your family. “And above all else,” Jack says. “Be kind.”
