Travis has had two ever-present passions in his life: physical fitness and animals. As a thirteen year old kid he was doing one of three things: investigating animals in the wild, lifting weights in the gym, and studying for school. Little has changed over time. A keen interest in biology led him to a doctorate in veterinary medicine specializing in radiation oncology. The fitness passion led him to the strength sport of powerlifting. Somewhere in between, Travis discovered his love for personal training. With his scientific background, knowledge of anatomy and physiology, passion for sports and fitness, and commitment to helping others become healthier versions of themselves, Travis has the perfect combination of traits for personal training.

Throughout his life he has assumed numerous and varied roles as a teacher and guide, always enjoying the chance to share knowledge with others. His approach to personal training draws on these experiences, guiding and motivating clients to more active and healthy lifestyles through individualized exercise programs. His special interests include the benefits of resistance training for all age groups and fitness levels with emphasis on correct form and safety. As the Personal Training Director at the Vashon Athletic Club, Travis strives for every member to have the best possible experience through their unique fitness journey.
