Capt. Travis discovered his love of the water growing up on the Great Lakes of Michigan. Sailing, fishing, and water skiing were his childhood passions. When those same lakes froze in the wintertime, Travis honed his competive edge playing Ice Hockey and varsity Swimming.

While serving for Uncle Sam he soon discovered the awesome undersea world of SCUBA diving.
