I’m Travis!

I write about philosophy and life.

I read, watch anime, pick up heavy weights, and climb.

I play video games and am an outdoor enthusiast, traveller, and general nerd. I geek out on personal development, ways of working/productivity, and philosophy.

I am passionate about fitness and eating well.

All of these combined makes me.

On May 15th, 2022 I married the love of my life, Renee, in a small ceremony.

Previously, I worked as an outdoor educator and guide. I loved it and was fortunate to see many parts of this world and have great discussions with students and co-instructors along the way. I also work in HR systems and many sub-areas/disciplines.
