He enjoys hunting, fishing, camping, and even yardwork. If it is outside, Travis usually enjoys it. While his capabilities have been severely limited by the friendly fire incident involving the vaccine, Travis refuses to give up the things in life that bring him the most joy. He truly knows that tomorrow is not guaranteed and does his best to make the most of every day.
Travis was a board member of a non-profit organization called Outdoors For Our Heroes (OFOH) and Got Your 6 Fishing (under one non-profit umbrella), which takes service-connected disabled veterans and first responders on hunting and fishing adventures where they can heal both mentally and physically. While this can be challenging at times for him, Travis enjoys helping other disabled veterans and first responders heal the way that OFOH helped him heal. Connecting with other disabled veterans has been crucial in Travis’ difficult journey on the road to some form of normalcy. He believes that helping other disabled veterans (especially those suffering from vaccine injury from a forced vaccine) is God’s mission for him here on Earth. Along with writing Friendly Fire: The Betrayal of One Soldier by the Government, Travis has written three children’s books: Cain Learns About Friends, Cain Learns About Play, and Cain Learns About Hunting. These stories feature Travis’ golden retriever Cain. Travis has also written Would God Forsake America, which will most likely come out in 2023.

What I did have to overcome with Friendly Fire is reliving all of the feelings of betrayal, inadequacy, loneliness, and reliving almost dying twice. It took seeing a psychologist to help deal with my PTSD and depression and an organization called Outdoors For Our Heroes to help me realize that I am worthy of the benefits that I receive and that I am no less of an injured veteran than those who were injured in wartime. OFOH gave me a chance to talk with other disabled veterans while hunting and fishing in the outdoors. To learn more about this great organization visit: www.outdoorsforourheroes.org
