Bound by legacy. Forged by grit.

Travis Dendy is a Husband, Father, Friend, Blade smith, 3rd Generation Texas Ranger and a Christian. His love for his State is not equally rivaled. Travis is a proud graduate of THE Stephen F. Austin State University and a man I’m proud to call my friend. “As a construct, history is too often revised to match contemporary views. It has been said that each generation must rewrite history in order to understand it. The opposite is true. Moderns revise history to make it palatable, not to understand it. Those who edit “history” to popular taste each decade will never understand the past—neither the horrors nor glories of which the human race is equally capable—and for that reason, they will fail to understand themselves.” T.R.
