Practice Manager
Travis’s work history is in corporate environments, specifically telecom. He is married to our DVM owner, Laura Downie, and when Dr. Downie’s practice manager moved to Texas in 2021, she was worried that she would have to sell her practice to a corporation as she could not find the right practice manager. Travis had become disgruntled with the corporate world, and they decided that he would retire from his corporate job of 20+ years and join Dr. Downie at Redstone. He brings many years of experience with inventory management, budgeting, and HR. Travis keeps our practice running behind the scenes—and has been pleasantly surprised by how much he likes the veterinary workplace. Running a small business in a sea of corporate practices has been challenging. But overall, he loves his new career path and finds satisfaction in knowing that Dr. Downie was able to keep her small practice from going corporate. Dr. Downie and Travis are currently engulfed in planning to expand the hospital’s buildings to offer their clients and patients new services. In his free time, you can find him on the tennis court or the golf course!
