Travis has lived in various areas of Texas for all of his life. At the age of nine he began taking 'cello lessons from Edward Lawrence, formerly of the Houston Ballet Orchestra. He later moved away from Mr. Lawrence and is currently studying under Meng Yang, a master student at Rice University. Travis began learning about web design in October, 2003, because of a school project. That project soon expanded to an entire site. Travis' other interests include: reading/writing, theatre, visual art, architecture, and virtually anything that doesn't involve athleticism in any way.
