Technology Director

Travis is a NSB native who began attending Edgewater Alliance Church in the summer of 2015, after many years of wandering in the wake of leaving an unhealthy church some years prior and being convicted by the Holy Spirit of his need for community.

It was then he first encountered the Lord while listening to Christian radio during his daily commute to Orlando. Travis and wife Stacy were then blessed to spend more than 15 years traveling together with musician, Yanni, as part of his crew; meeting people in parts of the world most never get a chance to explore.

Until March of 2020…When God brought the world to a halt and gave The Meck's the opportunity to reassess the tracks they were on. During that time period it was clear the skill sets Travis had acquired over the prior 3 decades in the entertainment world were in preparation of something more fulfilling and purposeful in God’s service. Travis and Stacy have two adult children, Allie and Tyler and three granddaughters, Journey, Helena, and Maddie.
