Travis

Here is a little about Travis. He was born and raised in Provo, Utah on October 14 to Fern and Jay Johnson. He lived in Provo while growing up and had a lot of great friends there. They caused quite a bit of trouble!! He meet one of his best friends when he was 8. His name is Jason Hunt and those two together were not always good. The way they meet is always so funny to me. They got in a pretty big fight and as a punishment there moms figured they should spend a day together so they could learn to get a long!! Well they learned, and after that day there moms spent a lot of energy and time trying to keep them apart. Jason now lives in Tucson Arizona with his wife Shaylee and little boy Max.
Travis started playing the drums around the age of five and has been in several bands and is currently in a band now. Travis loves to fish and hunt and also started this at a very young age.
Travis started his work ethics young he and his dad would catch minnows and worms and sell them to local gas stations and markets. This also built a strong relationship between father and son. He also contributes a lot of his work ethics to his grandmother who past away two weeks before I meet him. But through all the stories I feel that I know her very well.
Travis is the oldest of three children he has two younger sisters Christy and Shauna who are both married and living with there families in Payson, Utah. This is also were his parents have lived for the past 13 or so years.
Travis has had a filled life and he is not even half way done. He has worked many different jobs in his life. Through his jobs he has seen most of the United States. The one he has gone back to time after time has been a mechanic I swear there is nothing this man doesn't know or hasn't tried!! He has owned a siding company and a concrete company both of these were very successful. Now in his life he has just retired as the Service Director for Brent Brown Toyota. This job he succeeded well in and he won many different awards for his achievements and many different trips. Brent let us take his house boat in Lake Powell several times. In October of '07 Brent took us to stay at one of his houses in Maui Hawaii. Which was absolutely beautiful ! He (we) have now started a ice cream business, a company which sells fuel cleaners for big fleet companies and etc. and a finance management company.
Travis bought his first home in Payson when he was 20 this also was the first home of his son Austin who was born on November 15. Travis sold this home a few years later to his sister Christy and her new husband Garret. His home after that changed around every three months as he worked for Staker paving out of town crew. This has only been a short part of the many things Travis has accomplished in his life. I am very proud of my husband and very proud to be his wife. I Love you Travis!!
