Travis Outlaw

Born in Johnson City, Tennessee, I began life surrounded by Appalachian history and storytelling roots. Later, while growing up in Aiken, SC, I developed curiosity about history, strategy and leadership. Eventually, I decided to join the U.S. Army. During my military career, structure and resilience shaped both my character and creative perspective. After service, I attended University of Tennessee studying history and literature. Naturally, after all of my experiences, military science fiction became a favorite genre. In 2020, during Covid, I began drawing and writing seriously. From that moment, storytelling became a regular practice. Ultimately, my background represents persistence, creativity and growth. Through service, study, art and family, my journey continues to unfold.
