Bet big. Live free.
I’m a big believer in making highly concentrated bets in an effort to live life on your own terms. I regularly share my thoughts, learnings, and what I’m doing. Join me ↓
Hi, I’m Travis
I’ve made a career out of betting big on things I believe in. That’s taken me from playing poker for a living to trading at a hedge fund, building Kibin for 14 years, and growing a 12-door rental portfolio in Detroit so we could move home to California. Now I trade for a living.
I write about all of it here, wins and mistakes included, mostly because writing it down helps me think. You can read more about my journey here.
