A LIFE OF SERVICE. A MISSION OF PURPOSE.
Known as THE motivational speaker for First Responders, Travis Howze is the nation’s leading voice in first responder mental wellness, leadership, and resilience.
For more than a decade, Travis has traveled the country helping first responders, military personnel, healthcare professionals, leaders, and their families confront the emotional weight of the careers they chose to serve. His presentations have impacted more than 75,000 attendees, leaving audiences equipped with practical tools to strengthen leadership, build resilience, and create cultures where asking for help is seen as strength—not weakness.
A U.S. Marine Corps Veteran, Police Officer, Firefighter, Comedian, and Amazon Bestselling Author, His message isn’t built from theory—it’s built from lived experience.
Following years of personal trauma and recovery, Travis founded Post Traumatic Purpose, a movement built on one belief:"Our greatest struggles can become our greatest purpose."
Organizations don’t invite Travis in simply to motivate people. They bring him in to start conversations that many departments have struggled to begin for years—conversations about leadership, mental wellness, resilience, burnout, purpose, family, and the human side of serving others.
"A story that touched even veteran officers in the room in a tangible and enormous way. Through a combination of properly timed humor and raw detail, Travis delivered his story of challenge and triumph, and then inspired our members to find their own path through trauma."

"The message he delivers is vital and his passion for the material is infectious. Not only was he engaging, but he provided the perfect balance of humor and inspiration for our audience of first responders and their families."
