Travis’ background in Architecture started at a young age as he has been around the construction industry all his life. His passion for design has been a driving force as he moved through various jobs throughout his career. As much as he appreciates the beauty in modern architecture, the timelessness of traditional residential design has always motivated his design process.  

Experience

Travis graduated from the University of Tennessee College of Architecture and Design with a Bachelor of Architecture degree. Upon graduation, Travis began working for Clayton Homes and was in charge of floor plan design at one of the local manufacturing facilities. There he ensured that the homes were not only affordable but also conscious of each client’s design preferences. After working for several years at Clayton Homes Travis moved into the custom residential home market working for a local home builder, Cook Bros. Homes. While at Cook Bros. Travis got a more hands-on experience in the world of residential home design and construction, working as the in-house floor plan designer. He also coordinated all the necessary construction documents and building permits with the construction team to ensure each home was following the design standards of Cook Bros. and local building code requirements. Most recently, Travis moved back into the architecture community, working for a local architecture firm that specialized in commercial projects. In 2022, Travis passed the ARE exams through NCARB and is now a licensed Architect in the State of TN, as well as an active American Institute of Architects (AIA) member.
