Travis grew up in the farmlands east of St. Louis. He began climbing in the Ozarks while in college. It was there he discovered his love for teaching people the art of climbing. He eventually began guiding in the mountains of western North Carolina where he guided rock and ice climbs. In 2019, he moved to Washington and began guiding in the alpine. When not guiding, Travis also works as a ski instructor and an amateur Youtuber.
