SERENO GROUP
Travis is pleased to be part of the Sereno Group, a firm that has established itself as a proven market leader and consistent community supporter. Their formula for success has been to attract and hire only seasoned professionals who share a common thread of professionalism, care and creativity and to maintain an incredibly supportive staff and infrastructure providing clients with exquisite care. PERSONAL
Travis may be careful at the office, but he’s a bit of an adventurer away from work. He is an ardent mountain biker and amateur racecar driver. He is lucky enough to have a wife and two precocious, 12-year-old, adopted sons who ride and race along with him on many of his adventures. His wife also happens to be an EMT (as well as a successful high-technology sales executive), which comes in handy given Travis’ thrill-seeking disposition, and leaves no doubt in his mind that he indeed married the perfect woman.
