Who We Are

Hello, my name is Travis.  I was born and raised in Southern Vermont where I was first introduced into the outdoors at age 8.  While growing up my life took me in many different directions from serving on a volunteer fire department for over 10 years to volunteering as a certified EMT with a local ambulance crew for over 10 years.  I married the love of my life (Kathy) at age 22 and together we had 4 of the best children anyone could ask for.  Our oldest son (Brendan) died at age 14 from brain cancer after a long 11 year battle and 3 remissions.  Our other 3 kids (Alexander, Dakota, and Callie) are still with us and we cherish every moment we get with them. I worked as a Deputy Sheriff, an advanced EMT for a paid department, and eventually decided I wanted even more action. That is when I joined the U.S. Army as a combat medic.  During the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001, I volunteered to work search and rescue operations at ground zero. In 2002 I was deployed to Afghanistan with the 10th Mountain Division out of Ft. Drum, NY.  In 2010 I was medically retired from the Army and continued my love in the outdoors.  I spent 11 years in Colorado where I guided Elk and Mule Deer hunts.  In 2017 my family and I moved to Maine where I put all my training and knowledge to work as a Registered Maine Guide.  I have held many certifications to include high angle rescue operations, ice rescue instructor, water rescue instructor, CPR instructor trainer, Deputy Sheriff, Fire Fighter Level 1, Paramedic, and Registered Maine Guide.  With all that being said, I try to remind myself every day that life is short.  Today is already here, yesterday already happened, and tomorrow is just a few hours away.  With that in mind, I look forward to spending as many tomorrows as I can making your next adventure one to remember and talk about for years to come.
