I have had the pleasure of working with Travis for several years across numerous projects. Travis is a dedicated and self-motivated professional capable of handling multiple projects while staying focused on the objective. He works nicely on a team, but has also proven he can lead and complete projects on his own. Travis also possesses the technical skills needed to understand, support and perform root cause analysis for issues that arise in large complex environments. I recommend Travis as he is a great addition to any team.
