Mr. Traylor, who previously served as Traylor Retirement Community’s Chief Financial Officer and Assistant Administrator, is the fourth generation of his family who has managed skilled nursing facilities. Mr. Traylor currently serves as Chairman of the Alabama Nursing Home Association. Mr. Porter owns Porter Properties, a local real estate company. Mr. Traylor and Mr. Porter know the Auburn-Opelika market, since both live in the area and the Traylor facility in Roanoke has long had a relationship with East Alabama Medical Center.
