Hi, my name is Avery Taylor, aka “Uncle Mango”.  I live in the Irish Hills in southern Michigan.

 I spent many years working in the tool & die trade, only traveling vicariously through tales told by my brother and his wife, Dan & Rudi, of Happy Mango Beads, www.happymangobeads.com.  Eventually I began traveling along with them as often as possible.  Thus, “Uncle Mango Imports” was established and later www.unclemangoimports.com  to offer more products.  I enjoy interaction with people of other cultures and in purchasing their handicrafts in a fair trade manner this not only helps enrich their lives, but also allows me to travel and spend more time with my family, the things which I enjoy most in life.
