Disaster Recovery Leadership
I help organizations prepare for real-world recovery scenarios through DR planning, large-scale test delivery, runbook quality, and post-exercise improvement cycles.
Disaster recovery, cyber resiliency, cloud, and AI ambition
Enterprise resilience with a sharper point of view.
I’m Travis, an industry expert with 20 years of experience specializing in Disaster Recovery, Cyber Resiliency, Solution Architecting, Data Backup & Restore based in USA. Large-scale operational leadership with a growing focus on how AI can be implemented to elevate the future of tech.
What I do
Resiliency work built on leadership, clarity, and enterprise trust.
Data Protection & Cloud Recovery
My experience covers backup and restore strategy, VMware environments, storage platforms, Rubrik migrations, and collaboration across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud ecosystems.

Ambition
I’m interested in building technology that feels ahead of its time.
Proven foundation
My career has centered on enterprise backup, data protection, storage, disaster recovery, and technical leadership across organizations including LPL Financial, Humana, Constellation Brands, Sabre, HPE, and EDS.
Current direction
Today I’m deepening that foundation through cyber resiliency, cloud recovery, advanced reporting, and stronger alignment between business continuity goals and technical delivery.
Future ambition
I’m especially interested in how AI can reshape the technology space, not as hype, but as a practical force multiplier for smarter systems, clearer decisions, and more capable teams.
“The best systems don’t just survive failure. They create confidence before failure ever happens.”
Contact
Let’s build something unusually good.
If you’re working on disaster recovery, cyber resiliency, enterprise infrastructure, cloud protection, or thoughtful uses of AI in technology, I’m always open to strong conversations and meaningful opportunities.
