As long as he can remember Travis have been infatuated with the great outdoors and great challenges. Growing up in Minnesota he spent a lot of time in the Boundary Water Canoe Area, and a lot of time in the extreme cold. Right out of high school Travis fled for the Mountains of Telluride Colorado, and after a few years of college perusing a Wilderness Leadership degree, straight to Alaska. Residing, now, in both places he has the opportunity to enjoy some of the best rock climbing, ice climbing, and back country snowboarding the world has to offer. With a trip up Denali and two up Aconcagua this year, in addition to various other expeditions, Travis looks forward to spending well over half of this year living in a tent. Travis is currently studying snow science at the University of Alaska, and is a certified WEMT.
