About Me
Hi, my name is Travis. As a highly accomplished educational leader, I possess extensive experience in developing and implementing effective educational strategies, leading teams of educators, and creating a positive learning environment for students. With a proven track record of success, my goal is to help educators be the best versions of themselves, so that they can ensure every student in their classroom succeeds.
I am a husband to Lindsey (a nurse by trade and an amazing mother), a father to three kids (current ages are 10, 8, and 5) and life long learner passionate about education and fostering a community of learners.
My mission is to help teachers foster in their students a love of learning through positive classroom engagement.
“Travis is a passionate, hard-working and strategic leader… it was truly a pleasure to work with him.”
— Tiffany Benson, Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services
