About ByLT

A family-built company with deep roots and a forward focus.

Founded in 2013 as Taylor Telecom Solutions. Rebranded as ByLT in 2026. The values, relationships, and commitment to doing things right remain the same.

Built to Connect.

Strong connections start with how things are built — intentional, engineered, and done right.

ByLT began the same way many good businesses do, with family, hard work, and a commitment to doing right by the people we serve.

Founded in 2013 as Taylor Telecom Solutions by Brad and Teresa Taylor, the company grew out of a mindset shaped by years of community-centered business ownership. It was their second family venture, following a successful run as owners of Browder’s Ace Hardware. From day one, the focus was on relationships, reliability, and building trust through honest work. That foundation carried naturally into telecommunications.

Brad brings more than 50 years of experience in the telecom industry, and that experience continues to shape who we are today. From how systems are designed to how projects are supported long after installation, his knowledge shows up in the details. It is the backbone of our approach and the standard we hold ourselves to.

In 2026, the company entered a new chapter. Rebranding as ByLT reflected a clearer focus on the future while staying rooted in how the business was built. Around that same time, Lance Taylor joined as a co-owner, continuing the family legacy and helping guide what comes next.

We serve businesses, schools, city and county governments, and nonprofit organizations throughout our community and beyond, from our base in Roane County, TN. Because we are local, service feels personal. Our customers know us, and they know they can reach us when it matters.

We are competitive on price and transparent in our approach. Through free rate audits and careful planning, we help clients find solutions that fit their needs and their budgets. By partnering with trusted, best-in-class providers, we deliver modern communication and technology solutions designed to last.

Brad Taylor

President & Co-Owner

Brad Taylor has spent his career around communication systems and the people who rely on them. With more than 50 years in the telecommunications industry, he has seen technology change many times over and has helped customers adapt through each stage.

Early in his career, Brad worked within the BellSouth and AT&T environment, gaining experience inside large, complex telecommunications operations. That background shaped how he approaches his work today, with a strong focus on reliability, careful planning, and building systems that are designed to last.

In 2013, Brad co-founded Taylor Telecom Solutions to bring that carrier-level mindset to local businesses and organizations. Today at ByLT, he remains closely involved in the work itself. He leads VoIP phone system installations and stays hands-on throughout the process, working directly with customers to ensure systems are designed, installed, and supported the right way from the start.

Brad is known for his steady, thoughtful approach and his attention to detail. He believes communication systems should be built with intention and supported by people who stand behind their work. Based in Roane County, he and his family take pride in serving the same community they call home.

Lance Taylor

Chief Sales Officer & Co-Owner

Lance Taylor joined the family business in 2026, bringing a leadership background grounded in operations, people support, and long-term relationship building.

Throughout his career, Lance worked at the intersection of operations, leadership, and people support. He focused on improving efficiency and effectiveness by helping teams and leaders access the tools, structure, and guidance they needed to do their best work.

At ByLT, Lance leads growth efforts and works closely with business owners, administrators, and organizational leaders to understand how their operations function and how communication and technology systems fit into the bigger picture.

Teresa Taylor

Director of Finance & Administration | Co-Owner

Teresa Taylor is a co-owner of ByLT and plays a vital role in keeping the business organized, stable, and on solid ground. She oversees the financial and administrative work that supports the company day in and day out, bringing care, consistency, and attention to detail to everything she does.

Teresa's background is rooted in hands-on business ownership. During the years her family owned Browder's Ace Hardware, she was the one running the store, managing day-to-day operations, and keeping the business financially healthy. That experience gave her a practical understanding of what it takes to operate a business responsibly and sustainably.

At ByLT, Teresa applies that same steady approach behind the scenes. Her work ensures the company operates efficiently, decisions are well supported, and the foundation is strong for long-term growth. She believes good businesses are built on trust, organization, and doing things the right way, even when the work isn't always visible.

Based in Roane County, Teresa remains deeply connected to the community and the family values the company was built on.
