Travis’ background in sports started at an early age. He grew up playing all the mainstream sports, i.e. baseball, football, and soccer etc. In 1985 Travis got his first skateboard and has skated ever since. As a teen, Travis competed in the United States Amateur Snowboarding Association NationalChampionships. Travis is actively pursuing his dream of combining his passion of extreme sports with his technical background in film/video production, and enjoys teaching it to everyone. With an abstract editing style and viewpoint, Travis seeks to create a unique approach that breaks conventional norms & attracts extreme sports fans everywhere.
