Welcome to my corner of the world wide web!
I'm a certified project manager and communications professional, which means I've made a career out of bringing order to beautiful chaos. My secret? A unique blend of skills that crosses disciplines and industries with sprinkles of creativity woven in. From serving as a human firewall for a multimillion-dollar IT book of business to navigating the high-stakes world of the NFL, I've learned that every successful outcome is built on four things: clear communication, strong relationships, hard work, and a meticulous plan. With more than a decade of experience, I've led large-scale projects, tamed unruly deadlines, and held intense, high-pressure roles on NFL sidelines and stat booths. The goal is always the same: get the right people aligned on the right tasks to deliver results that matter.
What I do
Project Management
I am a certified PMP who thrives on a challenge, whether it's building a new system from the ground up or breathing life back into a project on the verge of collapse. My approach is to be a servant leader, leveraging my skills in both Agile and Waterfall methodologies to keep the project on track and everyone moving forward. I'm adept at creating clear project plans, managing budgets, and meticulously tracking progress. The chaos is a puzzle, and I'm here to put it all together.
Crisis Management
In the world of professional sports, you learn to expect the unexpected. I've spent over a decade in high-pressure environments, where every word matters and the wrong move can have a multimillion-dollar impact. As a trusted communications advisor to NFL coaches and players, I specialized in keeping calm in the storm, crafting messages with poise and precision. I've managed everything from league-altering personnel crises to off-field emergencies, always ensuring that the right message got out at the right time. When the lights are brightest, I'm the one who remains focused and in control.
Media Relations
With over a decade spent in the trenches of the NFL and other major organizations, I've honed my skills as a media liaison and communications savant. I'm adept at building relationships, shaping narratives, and ensuring the right people are saying the right things. I've been the primary point of contact for media at the highest levels of professional sports, helping to build a best-in-class communications department at a historic DI transition and managing press for major campaigns that generated millions of impressions.
What they're saying
"When I was with the Rams and I needed something, I’d always look for my guy, Trav!
Help with an all-day Pizza Hut commercial taping? He’s there. On the sideline to check how many yards I had? Yep, he’s got me! Post-game media sessions? Hated them! But he made sure I was ready and prepared for anything that came my way."
- Todd Gurley II - Retired All-Pro Running Back
"Working with Travis at an IT services company where we supported a group of long-term clients, he played a key role in keeping communication clear and issues on track.
He naturally led projects by tracking progress, coordinating with technical teams, and helping ensure deadlines were met. His attention to detail made a real impact on outcomes. He consistently balanced client relationships, business needs, and active project work with a steady and thoughtful approach."
— TJ Walenski - Level III Network Engineer, Engineering Manager
"We have worked with Travis for several years spanning multiple projects. His professionalism, foresight and versatility is what allows him to stand out among the crowd. He brings fresh ideas and perspective to any project or undertaking and his ability to communicate and adapt to any group or setting separates him from others.
Travis sees the big picture and also manages the daily minutiae that can lead other project leaders to get bogged down."
— Matt Jefferis, Owner/Developer - 1st Round Media Group
The man behind the keyboard
I'm a professional problem-solver with a knack for making things happen. My unique career path, from the NFL to a major tech company, has taught me that the principles of successful project management and communication are universal. At my last role, I was literally the human firewall for a $10+ million book of business, aligning technical teams with C-suite goals to deliver results that earned lasting trust.
When I'm not helping businesses succeed, you can often find me… still working, just in a different arena. I'm currently in my second season as a real-time game-day statistician for the NFL. As one of only 48 people in this specialized role for the league, I ensure the integrity of the multi-billion-dollar sports betting industry one live play-by-play entry at a time. It’s a job that requires precision and the ability to thrive under immense pressure—skills I've honed throughout my career.
I'm a certified Project Management Professional who's always looking for the next challenge. I'm passionate about projects that demand meticulous planning, clear communication, and a finish line that truly matters. So, whether you need to launch a new service, overhaul a workflow, or craft a critical press release, I'm ready to lead the charge.
Most importantly, I'm a proud husband, girl-dad, step-dad, fan of witty, dry humor and, of course, lover of dad jokes! Because even in the most serious situations, a little bit of levity goes a long way.
