Travis Wolfe was born in (west) Philadelphia, PA but spent a lot of his life growing up in multiple towns in New Jersey. With both of his parents being addicted to drugs and his father also being addicted to alcohol, Wolfe, along with his siblings were placed into the foster care system by their family members.

Wolfe bounced around between multiple foster homes and a group home between the ages of 8 and 12 years old, during which time he was a victim of physical abuse and rape. In between those years, Wolfe and his siblings had gotten out of the foster care system when his great aunt took them into her home; but Wolfe was placed back into the system because of his behavioral issues.

By 1996, Wolfe’s father had gotten clean and sober and had gotten Wolfe out of the system. His father introduced him to the teachings of the bible and encouraged Travis to live a holy lifestyle. It was through those teachings that he developed his spiritual foundation.

In 1999, after a dispute with his father, he ran away from home and ended up in Lawnside, NJ with his great aunt, again. Between that time and 2002, He had been kicked out of 6 different homes of friends and family that had taken him in.

In 2002, after making a decision to turn his life around, Wolfe graduated from Haddon Heights High School, with honors, and attended Temple University. In 2003, he co-founded a community service organization called GoodFellaz at the university which won the top student organization award “Best Organization” in 2006.

In 2007, he left Temple University to join the Philadelphia Police Department and In late 2007, he reapplied to Temple University and graduated in 2009 with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice.

He had turned 30 years old while in Basic Combat Training. While in the Army’s Officer Candidate School, an Injury forced him to be separated from the Army.

In 2015, Travis made the decision that he was going to “change the world.” He pursued this worthy ideal and opined that by empowering society to change their mindset and attain success in their individual lives, his ideal would come to fruition on a grand scale. Garnering inspiration from his life’s story and personal life experiences; which include, being a victim of child abuse, sexual abuse and sexual assault (rape), homelessness, poverty, the foster care system and drug/alcohol addicted parents; his goal is to empower everyone from youth to senior to overcome their victimization, eliminate excuses and achieve greatness and success in their lives. He believes that crossing over from living in low income housing to being homeless, to becoming a college graduate and Police Officer has given him a unique message and an unparalleled outlook within the realm of motivational speaking.
