Travis Bomgardner, CRPC® Advisor, CBDO
I spent 17 years as a Senior Regional Vice President with Transamerica, where I specialized in advanced retirement, insurance, and annuity planning and collaborated with top financial management teams across the Pacific Northwest. Throughout my career, I have focused on business development and building strong partnerships, ensuring the best outcomes for clients. As a proud father of two young boys, Brooks (6) and Banks (3), I am deeply invested in financial education for our next generations and providing for their future and contributing positively to my community.
Joining the Tschetter Group was an easy decision, as I have long admired their reputation as one of the premier comprehensive wealth management firms in the industry. I am excited to be part of a team that shares my commitment to excellence and ethical standards. I believe in the power of surrounding oneself with talented, principled individuals, and the Tschetter Group embodies these values, offering an environment that fosters personal and professional growth.

The First Tee
Optimism is a mindset created through preparation. I know that without a doubt that if I am present in each moment today, the outcome of tomorrow will be phenomenal. In short “preparation creates optimism.”
What excites you about the future:
Watching our sons continue to grow and learn each and every day.
What do you love about what you do:
I love to coach, educate and learn. The financial industry evolves incredibly quickly and I love the required challenge of staying current and learning continuously. I also love taking complex situations and finding simplified solutions.
Name one thing that keeps you up at night:
Outside of my two young boys, who don’t really like to fall asleep or stay asleep, there isn’t much that keeps me up. I do my best to maximize each moment throughout the day, so I typically sleep pretty well by the time the boys are down.
Who is someone you admire, and why:
I admire my mother who even through the most difficult of times approached each day with extreme optimism about life.
What are three traits that you think best describe or define you:
Dependable, Prepared, Honest
At the end of your career, how do you want to be valued?
By the type of father and husband I was. That is what drives me each day and will always be the most important gauge of success in my life.
When you’re not working, I’ll find you…
Spending time outside with our boys, on the river fly fishing or the golf course.
