About Dennis Taylor
Born and raised in the Bronx, New York City.
Dennis Taylor serves as the Co-founder and CEO of Black OPS Show Services, a Black-owned, family-operated national exhibitor appointed contractor based in Las Vegas, Nevada. In 1976, his parents saved enough money to have a brand-new home built on Long Island. Dennis was just about to turn 16 when the family made the move from the Bronx. He didn’t like it at first, but after graduating from high school, he attended college on a track and field scholarship. Dennis soon became an NCAA All-American on the men’s 4×400 record-setting relay team.
He also met his future wife on the track. She was a top-notch sprinter and hurdler like himself. They married a couple years after college. Dennis went on to work at Grumman Aerospace in Bethpage and Calverton, Long Island. In the fall of 1987, he heard whispers about a merger between Grumman Aerospace and Northrop Corp. Around that time, his friend’s father, who owned and operated BayShore Flooring, offered him a position laying oak flooring. A few years later, Dennis and his wife moved to Lithonia, Georgia, where they purchased their first home together and started a family with four children.
In 1992, Dennis owned and operated a janitorial franchise, the largest in Atlanta at the time. It gave him more time with his children while his wife pursued her master’s degree. In 1997, he was introduced to the trade show industry. At the time, he was also working part-time at UPS as a cover and air driver, cleaning his buildings at night. The very first company he worked with was Momentum Management in 1997. It was just for extra money while his wife homeschooled their children.
Now, after more than 25 years in the trade show industry, Dennis has taken all the knowledge and experience he’s gained over the years and applied it to starting his own I&D company with his youngest son Gabriel.
