Bio
Osten Taylor was a contestant on Survivor: Pearl Islands. He was the first person in the history of Survivor to voluntarily quit the game when he withdrew on Day 19, saying his health was more important to him than a million dollars.
Born in Nashua, New Hampshire, Taylor now lives in the South End of Boston. He is currently employed as an equity trade manager with an investment management company.
He previously worked as a salesman, construction worker and waiter.
Taylor attended the Thompson School of Applied Science where he received an Associates Degree in Business Management and went on to study resource economics at the University of New Hampshire.
His favourite hobbies are boozing with the fellas from UNH & The Braintree Boyz in Bean-Town, fitness training and golfing. He describes himself as outspoken, personable and focused. He is most proud of having worked on Wall Street, which was a childhood goal.
His favourite sport is basketball. His father is his hero because he was able to put himself through college and graduate school, graduating Magna Cum Laude, while supporting two kids.
