We had the good fortune of connecting with Travis Tomasie and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Travis, what is the most important factor behind your success?
Without a doubt the most important factor would be unrelenting persistence. There have been so many challenges and obstacles along the way. I’ve had to stay focused, and at moments, take one step at a time and never allow an impediment to stop forward momentum. I’ve found it’s beneficial to reframe these challenges as a positive experience. One that will ultimately make me better at what I do and create a stronger overall brand.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I’m a professional competitive shooter and instructor. It’s been a long journey with many ups and downs. I’ve been fortunate to have several great opportunities along the way. Many of these opportunities I created with hard work, persistence, and the willingness to sacrifice to accomplish my goals. One of the keys to my success has been choosing a path that I truly have an intense passion for. This has served me well throughout the blood, sweat, and tears. Rising to the top of my field, has been anything but easy. At some point, you’ll have to make the decision that you WILL succeed. No matter how bad the chips were down, I had to believe in myself and manifest success.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend were visiting our city, I’d take them down town first. Show them the capital. We’d go to Bridge Street next, for a steak at Connor’s. After that, we’d go the Space and Rocket Center. You can’t visit Huntsville without seeing the Saturn V rocket in person!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Without the love and support of my wife Kelly, none of this would be possible. She is my compass. Always there through thick and thin. Amazingly, she always has the right answer!
