My name is Travious Brooks, I reside in East St. Louis, IL where I was born and raised. I joined the Army right out of high school and served my country until I was honorably discharged in 2000. My last Duty Station was Ft. Hood, TX. I enjoyed TX so much, that I ended up it calling it home for the 9 yrs.

While living in TX, I worked for a Fortune 500 Company, where I worked as a Customer Service Representative. I received numerous awards, to name a few, President’s Club and Top Sales Representative in the Nation. In spite of the great achievements and accolades in the corporate world, I had big dreams of becoming my own boss.

I naturally have the gift to repair and work on electronics, so after much consideration and research, I opened my own company, Show Off Customs selling and installing car audio equipment. I recently realized that I now need the degree to go along with the skills and experience. I’m looking forward to this new experience of online courses and the University Of Phoenix.

Working on and with electronics over the past few years has prompted me to want to get a degree in this field, so that I can soar higher with the degree, skills and experience. As a result of realizing that I can achieve more with a degree, I’ve decided to go back school and realized that there was no time like the present.

In November 08, after starting to feel the effects of bigger companies, I decided that it was in my best interest to close the doors of my company after 5 years and move back to my hometown in IL.

I have two sons, Travious Jr. that’s 4 years old that lives in TX and Demond that’s 1 years old that lives with me. Most of my time is spent with Demond, but when I have alone time, I enjoy figuring out new things on my computer.
