Travis Quarles is the founder of the Quarles Make a Change Foundation Inc, a non-profit organization dedicated to servicing and educating the; homeless, underserviced, and disabled veteran communities of the nation.
The organization's theoretical approach is based on the principles of purpose, motivation, management of oneself, and discipline. Travis believes that helping someone identify their purpose, applying motivational factors, teaching the concepts of self-management, and instilling the pillars of discipline will allow anyone to change their circumstances no matter how impossible it may seem.
These are the same principles he has used throughout his life, specifically at the age of 17 when he nearly lost his life in an automobile accident. The accident resulted in brain trauma, lung puncturing, and internal hemorraging. Attending physicians advised his parent that there was a very small chance of survival, and if he did survive he may remain in a vegetative state for the remainder of his life.
To the physician's amazement, Travis was discharged from the hospital on the
7th day with an excellent bill of health. During his absence, his grades were negatively affected, and his recovery period impacted intercollegiate scholarships resulting in losing a grand opportunity. At such a young age he was faced with a huge obstacle to overcome, leading him to serve in the U.S Air Force, and from there the sky has been the limit.
Since then he has become the CEO of his own company, a Chief Operating Officer, and General Manager, along with many other titles. He has completed several levels of formal education including: Master of Sport Science with a concentration in Management and Coaching, a Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Management, Associate of Applied Science in Human Resources, along with several other professional licensures. In the spirit of philanthropy, Travis would like to share his passion for helping others with the same philosophy that helped him excel even during the darkest moments.
If you believe you can achieve, with the right mindset anything is possible.
