Howdy y’all! My name’s Travis and I am a born and raised Texan now living in Evanston, IL of all places. I was in technology, having spent 4 years a Dell in the 90s and 4 more with IBM in the early 2000s. I have always had an interest in investing and the markets, my mother began teaching me about buying stocks when I was younger.
My life completely changed in July 2004 when I was diagnosed with an incurable type of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. I spent six months in CHOP-Rituxan chemotherapy and nearly a year recovering from the treatment. It bought me four years of remission, which was terrific. In January of 2008, my wife and I welcomed our daughter, and in May 2008, the cancer decided to pay another visit.
Because of my disease type, the treatment was three months of chemotherapy followed by an autologus Stem Cell Transplant(often called a Bone Marrow Transplant). I am again in remission, and grateful to be alive everyday. My doctors say I have a 50-50 chance of staying in remission 5 years, and then the odds spiral downwards. The only treatment currently remaining for my NHL will be a donor transplant, however that’s a bridge I will worry about when I come to it. (If you have any questions about my cancer or my journey, please feel free to ask, I am very open to discussing it as I have learned many people fear talking about cancer and I want to disspell that fear.)
My wife is a dentist, I’m a stay at home Dad, part-time business consultant and interested in trading/investing to become a meaningful source of income for our family. When not doing all that stuff, I love to sail(Beneteau 36.7s, Lasers and just about anything anyone wants to go out on) and play at our lakehouse in the Northwoods of Wisconsin.
