Travis graduated with a degree of Bachelors of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Oklahoma State University and has worked as an Embedded Systems Engineer for companies specializing in automotive and agricultural GPS products. Travis then fell in love with web development and more specifically with Drupal, where he has developed numerous sites including http://www.delicioso.com for Food Networks, Ingrid Hoffmann.

In his spare time (which is rare these days), Travis enjoys the performing arts where he sings, plays the guitar, and even tap dances ( go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5z-B9LD0zTE to see him in action ). Travis currently lives in Des Moines, IA with his beautiful wife Erin, and is the proud parent of a feisty two-year-old named Brycen.
