Travis
Travis was simply born into the world of circus and trampoline. By the age of 12 he was an accomplished trampolinist whose energy and enthusiasm assisted numerous trampoline displays and events as part of the family business.

Ultimately Travis followed his entrepreneurial spirit. For 6 years he designed youth dances across the lower mainland with the audio visual company Vibe Design. He became Vice- President of the company and watched the company double in size with the addition of his planning and leadership.

In 2005 he incorporated the Vancouver Circus School in North Vancouver and in 2008 expanded to New Westminster. This business success allowed for the professional performance company Inner Ring to be incorporated in 2007.

Travis has produced entertainment for over 450 events to date including; BC Place 25th Anniversary half time show, BC Cancer Foundation Inspiration Gala, and BOUNCE as presented by the Boys and Girls Club of Whitehorse. Travis is also an active supporter of a number of local and national charities.

Aaron
Aaron's impact on the sport of trampoline and tumbling in Canada spans the past 3 decades. An international competitor with the reputation for being the highest bouncer in the world, he was the first Canadian to ever compete the twisting triple somersault known as a Triffis. In 1976 his athletic career was cut short due to a serious spinal injury.

As Canadian Trampoline Coach Chairman, he initiated the development of the Canadian safety manual that would later become used worldwide. Aaron spearheaded the safest and most progressive teaching system in the sport, known as the NCCP. Recruited by Cirque du Soleil in 1999, Aaron retired from competitive coaching to become Artistic coach of Mystere in Las Vegas.

In 2005 Aaron incorporated the Vancouver Circus School with his son Travis in order to develop Circus Arts on the West Coast. Applying his vast knowledge of biomechanics, education and social programming Aaron created the rainbow learning system, the Vancouver Circus School in-house curriculum that facilitates development regardless of aptitude.

In 2007, Aaron became head coach of the Inner Ring, responsible for acrobatic development of all Inner Ring artists.
