As a third-generation member of the Leathers & Associates team, Taj was truly born into the playground business. From a young age, he had the opportunity to volunteer and grow up on playground sites across the country, witnessing firsthand the transformation of playgrounds from dreams into reality. Following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, Taj has developed a deep passion for helping to create and construct inspiring playgrounds.

With nine years of experience officially under his belt, Taj has been instrumental in spearheading both community and contractor builds from the East Coast to the West Coast and everywhere in between. Before joining Leathers & Associates as an employee, he volunteered on a variety of playground builds, gaining a thorough understanding of the dedication and effort required to make these projects successful. Known for being a good listener, a team player, and a hardworking contributor, Taj brings a strong work ethic to every project.

When not traveling the U.S. to create custom playgrounds, Taj works in the office, taking drawings from the development phase to their final CAD versions. He has recently begun developing his own designs on a smaller scale and continues to enhance his computer skills.

Taj is also a nationally certified playground safety inspector (CPSI) and has a thorough understanding of the safety standards and guidelines that apply to today’s playgrounds. His combination of hands-on experience, creative talent, and technical knowledge makes him an invaluable asset to the Leathers & Associates team.
