About the Author

Growing up in East Tennessee shaped Travis J. Groth's values but none as important as those his parents instilled in him: "You can be anything you want" and "never wish away the present because, it will be gone before you know it." His book, When I Grow Up, highlights some of the occupations he envisioned for himself as a young child and strives to teach his daughter and all children the lessons he learned at a young age.
