Travis' story begins with a lifelong abusive relationship with math and science. He took to the unfortunate habit of doing Chemical Engineering and graduated with a degree from Kansas State in 2009. In college he discovered his love of D&D and other table top games and began dreaming of his first book: The Friendly Game Master. Since he had learned to run games all on his own with no guidance, he wanted to create the instructional manual he wish he had from the beginning. However, he wouldn't get a chance to write it for several years because the worst possible thing happened, he got a job. Engineering was a harsh mistress and it brought him to the desolate wastes of Wichita, Kansas. He survived, but at a terrible cost to his mind and soul. To reclaim his life he moved to the redwoods of Northern California to teach Tae Kwon Do and write books. Feel free to check in on him breaking boards and kicking stuff @ sunyisarcata.com.
