ABOUT OUR TEAM
Kevin Travis B.S.M.E.
President
I began my career in drainage as a kid, sitting on the curb with my brother creating obstacles and conduits for water to travel.
With a degree in mechanical engineering from Texas A&M, I was recruited by G.E.'s construction equipment business unit in Hartford CT. as a technical sales specialist, designing switch gear.
A lifetime interest in design, how water moves, landscape and site development led me on a path of understanding the logic and physics of the earth beneath. With brothers as home-builders, I was told about a little known company, Dallas Drain. My interest was in the pipe, one that has proven to play a significant role in what I believe to be, the future of drainage and sustainability.
My father, an Annapolis Naval Officer insisted on excellence. He roused us up each morning commanding, get up boys! Today is another day in which to excel! And so I do!
It's not necessary to ask because I will tell you, my Team is the Best! And you will find me on the course in the spare.
Humberto Cardoza
Vice President
I am Humberto, the Maestro.
I have been working with Kevin Travis for over 30 years. I have through my landscape and drainage application experience, become a master of water behavior and its ability to feed and to destruct.
Required resolution is the art that I share. My level of responsibility is one that is both empowering and commanding of my "DREAM TEAM". They are expected to be not only impeccable in the field, but in their purpose. And I can proudly say, they are both.
I live life pursuant in passionate creativity and a big family. I fall asleep at the movies, every time.

Juan Tenze
Project Manager
Hello, I am Juan, an Italian, born and raised in El Salvador. If you don't speak English, I may likely speak yours.
I attended The George Washington University at the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. After graduating, I returned to El Salvador to work for an Italian Firm and with my family in Real Estate Development and Infrastructure.
Returning to the U.S. was a natural choice, as I married a girl from California and have many childhood relationships in the U.S. I have 3 children, and I am active in their sports, my church and in my community."
