Travis Davis was born with cerebral palsy. Growing up, people saw his disability before they saw him. That gap — between how the world perceived him and who he actually was — became the question that would shape his entire career: What happens when we stop seeing limitations and start seeing people?
That question has taken Travis from the ADA Advisory Council of Albuquerque to the TEDx stage in Austin. It's driven him to build programs from scratch, launch a franchise that employs people with disabilities, chair advisory boards, and host Off The Crutch — a podcast that has reached over 8,000 listeners and features conversations with some of the world's most influential voices in disability, inclusion, and resilience.
Today, Travis is one of the most sought-after speakers on disability inclusion, resilience, and workplace equity. His signature CRUTCH framework gives audiences more than inspiration. It gives them a practical lens for building cultures where everyone belongs, and everyone contributes.
He has been featured in SUCCESS Magazine, appeared on Sirius XM, and delivered talks at TEDx and DisruptHR that have resonated with audiences across industries. He serves as a guest lecturer at universities, consults with organizations on inclusive hiring and accessibility, and has advised at the state level on disability access and policy.
Travis doesn't just talk about inclusion. He's built it, lived it, and proven that it works — for people, and for business.
If you're looking for a speaker who will move your audience, spark real conversation, and leave them with something they'll actually use — you're in the right place.
Karen CourterTravis is one of the most inspiring individuals I’ve encountered. Through his openness and vulnerability in sharing his personal journey with disability, Travis creates a safe and welcoming space for others to reflect on their own challenges and ask meaningful questions.
He beautifully reframes adversity, reminding us that our struggles can become our superpowers. His message around “CRUTCHes”—Creativity, Resilience, Understanding, Trust, Confidence, and Heart—is both memorable and deeply impactful.
If you're looking for a speaker who will move your audience, spark important conversations, and leave a lasting impression, I wholeheartedly recommend Travis. His presence is a true gift!
