Taylor Romero

Taylor Romero landed his first web gig at the age of 14 and worked several high-profile positions in the tech industry before going in a totally new direction, diving into retail and men’s fashion. He and his wife, Becca, opened Spruce, a menswear boutique and barbershop, in 2015 and haven’t looked back since. Taylor is passionate about the ways technology can impact our world, and hopes to play a part in helping put Denver on the map as a tech mecca.

With his creation of SpruceBot, Taylor Romerois quite literally on the cutting edge of new technology. Spruce is a platform that allows brick-and-mortar retailers to customize the experience for their customers in the same way we’ve come to expect from online retailers. But, they also have a physical clothing store and barbershop where they experiment with forward-thinking retail technology, primarily using interactive bots. Driven by the motto, “The most important person in the world is the one walking through that door.”
