Travis Sheridan  Age: 33

Director of Member Services, Central Valley Business Incubator

Travis Sheridan is admittedly addicted to school.  He has a bachelor’s degree in psychology, a master’s in organizational behavior, and recently completed coursework for a doctorate in organizational leadership.  Following high school in Madera, where he grew up, he entered the Air Force, where he was a firefighter for four years. 


He began working at the Astone Agency in the summer of last year before making the move last year to the Central Valley Business Incubator, where he works with entrepreneurs looking to begin businesses in the area.  Sheridan is also the vice president of Creative Fresno, where he helps the organization focused and on track.


In 2000 Sheridan was honored by the Fresno and Madera Police Chiefs Association for chasing down a purse-snatcher who had just robbed a woman.  He is seeking a Fresno Unified School District school board seat in November.
