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
