BIOGRAPHY: He grew up in a poor area, living with his father. He has never met his mother. His father did his best to provide for them but when Travis was 14 he tragically died of a heart attack. With the little money they had left, Travis moved to the city with a few possessions and some of his fathers photographs. For a while he was living on the streets because he could not afford to stay in his fathers house anymore. He began looking for a job, but many places turned him down due to his age. However, he came across an advert for Lexsys Courier Service in a discarded newspaper and decided it was worth a try. They hired him on the spot and he has been working there ever since.
