Travis Schario is a self-taught professional Web designer, computer graphic artist, and Flash program developer. His projects include a fully-functional website for "Price is Right" Announcer Rich Fields, game show simulation software for Game Show Congress, and "The Price is Right" 2nd Edition home game from Endless Games, released in 2004.

Travis was born and raised in historic Marietta, Ohio. After graduating from Marietta High School in 1999, he took some time off from school to experience the "Working World"; Vending Machine Repairman for The Parkersburg News and Sentinel, Call Center Order Taker for Napoli's Pizza in the Mid-Ohio Valley, and Bowling Center Control Desk at Emerson Lanes in Parkersburg, West Virginia. In all of these careers, Travis maintained a passion for game shows.

During the summer of 2003, Travis was lucky enough to be called as a contestant on "The Price is Right." That single experience sealed Travis' future. That following fall, he started at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, majoring in Telecommunications, Computer Programming, and Business; combining the three in a Bachelor of Specialized Studies degree with the title: "Game Show Development".

During his tenure at Ohio University, Travis joined the Ohio University College Bowl team. While on the team, he founded The Ohio University Game Show Appreciation Society!, a registered Student Organization to celebrate game shows. After the founding, Travis joined a national game show fan club, Game Show Congress.

In the summer and fall of 2006, Travis took four months away from the Athens Campus of OU to spend on the campus of CBS Television City. He was accepted as an intern on "The Price is Right", working under legendary host Bob Barker and producer Roger Dobkowitz. Finally living out his dream, Travis learned what it took to put a real game show together. He took that knowledge back to Athens and the club, and graduated in June 2007.

Since graduation, Travis has largely remained in the Mid-Ohio Valley, but at this time is unable to find steady work. After two seasonal gigs (three months as an order taker for Coldwater Creek, and two months as a Customer Service Rep at Toys 'R' Us), he landed a full-time job as a Customer Care Agent with Suddenlink Communications. When the "World Of Game Shows" came calling again in July 2009, Travis left his position to produce game display software for a cable game show pilot, "Shut Up And Deal", taped in New York City's "Crash Mansion" night club. He also has produced display software for currently unsold game show concepts entitled, "What's The Score?" and "Pressure!", among others.
