A partner with the Bezos Family Foundation and Vroom, Travis inspires organizations that work with parents to help create brain-building environments for their small children.

Travis’s wife, Nichelle, is a carrier for a genetically inherited blindness gene that would be passed down to their children, but, thanks to IVF with genetic testing, Travis and Nichelle are building their family with the help of UIRC’s “Lucky Socks” program and wonderful therapy services.

Travis is an avid reader, news junkie, and Disney fan. He enjoys weightlifting, traveling, spending time in Utah’s backcountry, and eating good food with friends and family.
