Travis Mills, Manager of Maintenance

My priorities are God, family, then work. As a kid, my family relied on me to help them. My mom was sick a lot and my dad was an alcoholic, so I had to grow up pretty fast. I was a leather-wearing kid with a mullet that didn’t know his purpose at that point. My family was dysfunctional, but they loved me. My dad became sober and our relationship grew. He passed away five years ago and now I care for my mom who lives with me, my wife and our five kids. One of my goals was if I ever had a family, it was not going to be dysfunctional because I didn’t want to put them through that. So I’ve always strived to be the best for my family because I wanted to break that cycle.

At work, I want to make people better and be a light for others. I always say, show ’em your heart before you ask for their hand. I want people to trust me because I trust them. I want my team to feel like they have a purpose and are making a difference. Not just in the people around them, but in their own family too. I love going to work. It brings me life. And if I can help the people around me be their best, then I’m serving my purpose.
