: About Me

Hello and a "how do you do" to you. My given name is Travis Barefoot. I hope you find my writings to inspire you, inflame you, mystify you, and tickle you.
I am a 40 year old Dad who forever is the father to two of the most beautiful children on earth (yes they are!).
I write for my local VW club on a regular basis and hope to get my collection of poems, insights, and short stories published one day. Of course, for that to happen, I need to build up my collection some more and expose my style of writing to the world...I hope to do that through this site.
