About Travis
After earning his Bachelor of Science from the University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh, I moved to Washington, D.C. in 2011 to begin my career. I quickly fell in love with the city and have since put down roots when I purchased my first home on 29th Street, S.E. in Randle Highlands in 2015. By 2020, I felt like I had outgrew my home but I loved the neighborhood and did not want to leave. Fortunately, I was able find a home that fit my needs still in Randle Highlands and in 2021 I moved to 26th Place, S.E. Since moving to the neighborhood I have been serving on the board of the Randle Highlands Citizens' Civic Association where I helped to build up the organization by promoting our activities to both our seasoned and new residents alike.
Since 2021, I have served as the Commissioner for ANC 7B03 and during my short time in this role I have been proud of my many accomplishments including:

My experience with these various community groups demonstrates my commitment to our community, and my unique perspective to help be the best advocate for you as an individual, as well as Randle Highlands as a whole.
Since 2021, I have served as the Commissioner for ANC 7B03 and during my short time in this role I have been proud of my many accomplishments including:
- Finally getting CSX Railroad Company to commit to - and follow through on - maintaining their discontinued railroad lines along Fairlawn Avenue which have long been overgrown, unmaintained, and a hotspot for illegal dumping.
- Helping residents navigate the complexities of D.C. Government to ensure that they access the services changes they need, including changes to improve pedestrian safety along busier corridors such as Minnesota Avenue, Pennsylvania Avenue, and 25th Street.
- Accountability for businesses in 7B03. When liquor licenses come up for renewal the ANC plays an important role in the process. It also helps us to ensure that businesses in our community are good community partners. As these licenses come up for renewal I have worked to negotiate agreements with the establishments to ensure they can continue serving our community, while adding value to our community.
- At the request of residents, I've helped with getting speed humps installed on several blocks including: N Street, O Street, Q Street, 28th Street, 29th Street, and Fairlawn Avenue.
- Holding National Park Service (NPS) accountable for maintenance of their properties in ANC 7B03, including the triangle park at the intersection of 28th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, the park at the intersection of Pennsylvania and Minnesota Avenues, and the stretch of 27th Street between Naylor Road and Texas Avenue.
In addition to having the honor and privilege of serving the residents of ANC 7B03, I also serve on a number of boards all aimed at community betterment, including:
- Randle Highlands Citizens' Civic Association, since 2016, I have served as the Director of Community Outreach to help the association connect with residents of the neighborhood.
