After growing up in Bozeman, Montana, Travis attended college at Tufts University in Massachusetts. Soon after, he came to his senses and returned to the West with no intention of leaving again. He is committed to the protection and restoration of western public lands and wildlife and has served as a leader in the conservation community since earning a J.D. from the University of Colorado in 2013. Travis joined the Trust in 2016. He strives to be an agent of lasting change that benefits the land, water, and humans of the Colorado Plateau.
Some things happen only once, twice in a lifetime. The world is full of signs and wonders that come, and go, and if you are lucky you might be alive to see them.
