About Travis

In 2012 my wife and I were blessed to be rescued by a Galgo named Leena.  This scared little white Galgo inspired my wife and I to start Love Hope Believe Galgo Adoption in 2013.  When our group was first starting out, we were lucky enough to have a member of Hearts Speak take photographs of our adoptable Galgos and give me several tips to take better photos of our adoptable dogs.  Since then I have been working on my photography skills and taking photos of the Galgos during our trips to Spain. Now I have the opportunity to pay it forward.

My wife and I have made Fifthteen trips to Spain to volunteer at the shelters and have transported over 200 Galgos back to the US for adoption.  In December 2014 I published my first photo book "Galgo Espanol After The Hunt"  (You can purchase here). The money raised from the book is donated to Baas Galgo, the shelter we volunteered at in February 2015.  I also have two more photo books in the works that will benefit shelters in Spain that care for these beautiful animals.

​Fun Facts:

• My wife and I currently have 7 Galgos; Radar, Gemma, Fernando, Yima, Vilal, Keala and Amai.

• I work as a Sr. IT Engineer for my County Government, when I'm not behind the camera.

• My left arm has a tattoo sleeve that is dedicated to our second greyhound, Savanna.

• My first pet was a male cat that I named Ash from Army of Darkness.  He was rescued by my sister after a man drowned the rest of his litter in a barrel of oil.

• The most relaxing vacation I have ever had, was sleeping in the middle of a shelter with 550 dogs.  The following week, I slept in a hotel with one dog outside that kept barking and got no sleep.
