Travis Schneider

Travis Schneider

Travis Schneider is the owner of Highmarks Construction and the founder of Stuck N The Rut. Raised in an adventurous family, Travis developed a passion for the outdoors and a strong work ethic at an early age. By seven, he was already tagging along on hunts with his dad, practicing his elk bugles, and by thirteen, he had taken his first six-point bull elk on his own.

For decades, Travis has built homes and developed the hands-on construction, excavation, and equipment operation skills that have helped shape his lifestyle. Through Highmarks Construction, he's turned his knowledge of building and construction into a career that allows him to fund his greatest passion: spending time in the mountains and pursuing adventures with his family. His ability to work hard, build a business, and understand every stage of a construction project has helped make that lifestyle possible.

In 2010, Travis began filming hunts with family and friends, eventually growing Stuck N The Rut into a collection of more than 180 DIY hunting episodes on YouTube. Whether he's building homes, preparing construction sites, or navigating the mountains, Travis believes in hard work, hands-on experience, and figuring things out firsthand.

Through this masterclass, Travis shares the practical knowledge he's developed through years of building homes and preparing foundations. From setting grades and managing drainage to excavating trenches and preparing foundation forms, he walks through the real-world processes that go into getting a home site ready for construction.
