Travis has been the pastor of Highlands Presbyterian since 2000 and served as a ruling elder and pastoral intern before that. Travis and his wife, Kimberly, have attended Highlands Presbyterian Church since 1995. Travis also teaches biblical and theological studies occasionally for Covenant College. Travis and Kimberly have two sons, George (2001) and Paul (2006). Kimberly is a partner in a CPA firm in Chattanooga.

Travis came to faith in the Lord Jesus in Midland, Texas while attending a house church. At the time he was attending the national training program with the Palmer Drug Abuse Program, for which he worked as a staff member in Corpus Christi, Texas. As the Palmer Drug Abuse Program in Corpus Christi became more distinctively Christian, Travis found that he had gone from being a non-Christian to being in active ministry. Travis served as a youth volunteer and deacon at Heritage Presbyterian Church (now Southside Community Church) before going to Covenant College, where the Lord blessed his life by allowing him to become active in small group ministry and missions.

Travis has worked as a substance abuse counselor, marketing director of a publishing firm, a custodian, and an apprentice armorsmith, as well as an illustrious career in the food service industry. He has a degree in Biblical Studies from Covenant College, a Master of Divinity from Beeson Divinity School, and is pursuing post-graduate studies at the School of Theology of the University of the South.
