Travis is a native of the Atlanta area. He currently lives in Sandy Springs with his wife, Sharon, and two daughters, Megan and Kate. He attended Berry College on a Presidential Merit Scholarship. While at Berry he received a B.S. degree in Business from the Campbell School of Business and was awarded the Earl Roberson scholarship for outstanding achievement in Economics. His post graduate studies for the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation were completed at Oglethorpe University.

Travis’ interest in the financial markets started at a very young age. He purchased his first security when he was only 17 and has been hooked ever since. It proved more difficult than he expected to start a career in financial planning without taking a position with one of the large sales oriented banks or other financial organizations. Fortunately a friend referred him to a fairly small independent firm named Benedict Financial Advisors, Inc and Phil offered him a position to join the team. It has proved an ideal opportunity to grow within an independent planning office with Phil as a mentor. Travis believes Benedict Financial is structured in a manner that places the firm on the same side of the desk as the client. He enjoys the ability to apply independent research that the firm selects in their long-term investment strategies.
