RECEIVED CERTIFICATION AS COMMERCIAL LINES COVERAGE SPECIALIST: Travis received this certification as a national Underwriter in October of 2015. This training allowed him to further master the subject of commercial insurance lines coverage.
FOUNDED SCHIELD INSURANCE: After wholesale changes to the insurance industry in the years following the previous recession, Travis decided that he wanted to re-enter the insurance industry, but do it differently than before. As a result of his previous experience, where profitability and corporate mindset were #1, Travis decided to build an agency catered to high levels of service with strong resources as he’s backed by SIAA, the largest Insurance Group in the country.
