The Family Fallout

After growing up in Lincoln, Travis moved to Arizona for 15 years.  In 2017 he was looking for a transition to a job or business opportunity that would fulfill him.  As part of this transition, Travis returned to Lincoln and stayed with his brother and sister-in-law while he decided what his next move would be.  […]
