About Taylor Murrey
Taylor Murrey started his professional career in the real estate industry. While in this field, he discovered his passion for developing meaningful relationships with clients and helping them navigate the murky waters of major financial decisions. Craving more stability and structure in his day-to-day life, Taylor spoke with a financial advisor about bringing his skillset to the realm of finance; after that, he fell in love with the industry and never looked back.
In 2020, Taylor became Series 7 & Series 66 licensed, and he was brought on to Morgan Stanley in April 2023. He joined a team of two deeply knowledgeable and experienced financial advisors, John Knight and Poonum Vasishth, who share over 60 years of practice between them. That level of industry experience, matched with his youth and gumption – all backed by Morgan Stanley’s resources – enables the team to be a fierce competitor in the industry.
Taylor became a financial advisor to improve the quality of life of the community that he serves. He brings the same attitude to his clients as he does with his own loved ones: his approach starts with the person, not the account. What is important to each individual client? What are their values? How can he incorporate those things they hold most dearly into their financial plan? Helping people connect those dots and put a plan into action is what he enjoys the most about this profession – along with building lasting relationships that reach far beyond an account balance. At his core, he loves the feeling of making a difference in clients’ lives. He works hard to make sure that his clients are happy, and he does it with a smile.
Growing up, Taylor played music – everything from marching band to gigging in the Puget Sound music circuit. He graduated from Washington State University with a degree in International Business. During his college years, his passion turned toward travel, language, and culture. He took a year abroad to immerse himself in Latin American culture, teaching and working in Peru, Chile, and Colombia. During this time, he became proficient in Spanish. In total, he has traveled to 15 countries.
Taylor lives with his fiancée, Leslie, in Tacoma, where they both met and grew up together. They enjoy lounging with their cats, cooking new recipes, and playing cards with their future in-laws. Taylor is family-oriented and spends his time with the people he loves most: his fiancée, parents, and friends. He loves hosting parties to celebrate birthdays, holidays, and good weather. Several hobbies that occupy his time and money are golf, home improvement, international travel, and music.
