Travis grew up in the Northwest, enjoying fishing with his dad, and playing sports with his brother and neighborhood friends. He has enjoyed singing, writing songs, and playing the trumpet for his local church. In high school he excelled at playing volleyball and was captain of the varsity basketball team. Today Travis enjoys metal detecting for old coins and relics and following the crypto currency market. He loves to travel with his wife of over 30 years and spending time with his grand kids at every opportunity.

Travis is the owner and sole proprietor of Spectrum Overhead Door. He first opened for business back in 2006. His first hire was a local pastor who was looking for part-time work. Travis’ faith in God has played a large role in his life, leading him to seek a degree in theology, rather than pursuing college basketball or a secular education.

Travis’ work background has included landscape design and construction, house framing, building pool fences, and sales. He is proud of his time spent with Youth With A Mission, and volunteering to help build churches abroad. During Harvey Travis and his wife opened their home to 2 families that were victims of the terrible flooding. He is most proud of utilizing his building skills to complete the build-out of 2 dance studio facilities that his wife and daughters own and operate.

Travis loves the garage door industry, and is very happy that his company can be of service to all neighbors in the Houston area. It gives him the most satisfaction to see how a beautifully designed garage door can add such great curb appeal to a home. He is thankful for his great employees and how they operate as a team to help each other out when needed.

Cory is a Houston native. He is the service manager at Spectrum Overhead Door, and is well known to be a team player. No doubt, he learned some of his great qualities growing up playing soccer, football, and running track. Back then he was known as “Sticks.” His love of animals led him to study at a veterinary tech school where he graduated with honors. Today, he and his 3 kids enjoy time with their 2 cats Gracie and Roscoe. Cory attributes raising kids as life changing, and offers him some solace after losing his younger brother to a car accident.

Like many people, Cory had experienced many resets in his life as a result of the COVID pandemic. He has learned to overcome adversity when it comes his way. Cory has a stick-with-it attitude when things get tough. He is a long-time fan of Batman, and aspires to live up to lessons from the show such as “Stand up for what you believe in, do right- even when no one is watching, and always look out for the little guy.”

Cory considers himself very fortunate when he is able to set time aside to help others. He is most proud of a season in life where he had volunteered to assist special needs kids through sports activities. Cory says he really enjoys being in the service industry where he can regularly help people in their time of need.

Cecelia, aka Cece, has lived in Houston all her life. She has great memories spending time with her father fishing for bass, perch, and catfish. When she was younger she enjoyed competing on a dance team and playing volleyball. Like many of us, Cece was excited to get her drivers license at an early age. She was made to share her first car with both of her siblings. Somehow they all survived just fine and they were able to make it work.

Cece’s favorite season is Fall and she always looks forward to having Thanksgiving with her 6 kids, most of whom will get in the spirit- each helping to prepare their own favorite dish. Cece has quite the busy house, caring for her husband, 6 kids, 5 cats, 2 dogs, and 3 turtles to top it all off. You might say that she does alot of running around. That very well could explain her fondness for shoes, for which she has a closet full.

Cece has been in the garage door industry for over five years. She learned the trade riding with her husband and fellow garage door technician David. Cece is now a vital part of the office team- assisting with the parts store, helping walk-in customers, answering phones, record keeping,  and dispatching.

David was born and raised in the Houston area. He enjoyed playing football in high school, playing both wide-receiver and defensive-end. His work experience includes laying tile, general construction, and working at an automotive repair shop. He has always been a very hard worker, holding many jobs prior to turning 18. It could be said that David grew up in a household with more than a few challenges. As a result, David has learned to have a strong character and to be self-reliant. He achieved a major goal and life milestone when he was able to purchase his own land and home before turning 25. It is there where he and his wife are busy raising 6 kids, 5 cats, and 2 dogs.

One of David’s gifts is being naturally mechanical. Much of his skills have been self-taught as his mind just seems to easily understand how things work. One of his favorite personal projects was fully building an engine for a Chevy pickup. David’s current hobbies include racing and building sports cars. David had a very close friend in his life who passed away. He drew a lot of inspiration from him and received life-changing advice. David attributes some of where he is today to that friendship.

David’s mechanical skills have served him well in the garage door industry where he has been happily working for over 15 years now. He knew that learning this trade was going to change his life, and it certainly has. David enjoys being out there meeting new people, educating them about garage doors, and having a positive impact on people.

Daniel is both a war veteran and a veteran in the garage door industry. He served his country well, and for many years. He loves chatting with others. You should not be surprised if you are entreated with a charming or humorous tale of his many life adventures. Daniel is well liked by both customers and coworkers.

Daniel is proud to have served in the army from 1989 to 1993 in the 82nd Airborne Infantry. He says that he has purposely jumped out of more planes than he could possibly remember. Today his missions are quite a bit safer! As a garage door tech, he typically works hard all day, AND is happy to help customers with emergency calls later in the evening and on weekends. He might not drop out of the sky with a chute overhead like he used to, but he still intends to amaze his customers with the fastest arrival possible on Houston roads. 

After the military, Daniel remained abroad for years as a construction contractor on a military base. In 2010 he went to Iraq to work on military bases supporting our US armed services as a contractor. It is during that time that he met the girl of his dreams, and wife (one in the same), while shopping at a mall in the Philippines. Daniel describes one of the happiest events in his life three years later, when he proudly held his newborn son in his arms.
