Travis initially started his coaching journey instructing spinning classes and is excited to take what he’s learned there to the run studio. During the day, he works as a software developer at IDEXX Laboratories and is excited to get moving (or help others get moving) both before and after the workday.

A self-proclaimed cyclist and runner "on the side", Travis has slowly increased his running since 2017 and completed his first marathon in 2019 (Maine Coast Marathon). He began running in track, then cross-country in High School and continued into college. He eventually focused strictly on cycling and founded a team based in Portland called Project 207 Racing.
