He is also a people person, so building relationships comes easily to him.

He subsequently obtained his Certified Financial Planner™ certification in 2008. To acquire the certification, Travis had to be conferred by the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards by meeting certain education, examination and ethics requirements.
