Taber Nash was born and raised along the U.S. west coast and discovered his love for motorcycles in Northern California, where biker culture has always thrived. Growing up with this influence, and landscaping with his father, he developed an appreciation for hard work and dirty hands. It wasn’t until he turned 17 that Taber started riding, and bought his first Harley. Soon thereafter, he began chopping bikes, calling on his passion for taking things apart which began with his background working on cars. Taber started building bikes from the ground up several years later and was encouraged to open his own shop. In 2002, Taber married his adoring wife, Jenna, in Orlando, Florida, relocated to Vancouver, Washington, and began Nash Motorcycle Company where he and the business stayed for ten years until the recent move to Southern California. Nash Motorcycle Company has just opened their first shop on the famous Melrose Ave in Hollywood.
