Bringing physical spaces to their fullest life.

From Travis:

I grew up in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, a cozy town on the banks of the Illinois River in the northeast corner of the state. Like most folks, my appreciation for where I spent my younger years gets stronger with time, especially for the uniqueness of place that was embedded in my childhood community and environment. Forever obsessive over cities and the people that give them their identity, I have made a life and a living laying witness to the inherent value of the neighborhoods that build us. 

These days, I work as a community developer, DJ and REALTOR in Memphis, TN. As a kid I wouldn’t have been able to tell you what any of these careers meant, but today I am grateful to work in spaces that align with and bring out my authentic self. My “day job” is in Real Estate with the Memphis Medical District Collaborative focusing on leveraging the built environment to enhance the vibrancy, equity and prosperity of the District. I fill the rest of my time as a REALTOR® with Bluff City Realty, and as a DJ throughout Memphis and the various parts of the States.

Day in and day out, I get to be a thread in the fabric that weaves built, physical form with the people and ideas that bring spaces to their fullest life. Our homes, neighborhoods, communal spaces (aka, real estate) shape the rhythms and experiences we share as humans (aka, DJing), and I find great joy working as a participant in that process. 

My wife Kalin, and our kids Kennedy and Tatum, live at the intersection of several neighborhoods in Memphis’ core. We enjoy living at the neighborhood level, and the not-frequent-enough visit to Elwood’s Shack on Summer Ave.
