Hello, I’m Travis Forsyth and was born on May 18, 1995, in Shawnee Mission, Kansas, and grew up in Davenport, Oklahoma. At a young age, I fell in love with sports and the Kansas City Chiefs after my parents surprised my siblings and me, with a Playstation 2 console and a copy of Madden NFL 2005.
From that point forward, my love for the Chiefs and Kansas City sports grew and as I got older, I developed an interest in journalism after watching former Chiefs reporter Josh Looney talk about the happenings around the team on a weekly show called “Chiefs Live” that aired every Tuesday from 2009-2012.
After graduating from Davenport High School in 2014, I attended Oklahoma Community College the following year. In 2016, I took the sports beat in my first journalism class at OCCC and earned the sports writer job at the OCCC student paper, The Pioneer.
In 2018, I was offered a contributor role with a startup site called “Chiefs Update”, where I published articles about the team. Unfortunately, the site shut down at the start of the ’18 NFL season.
On June 20, 2019, I decided to start my own media brand “Chiefs Now” which has quickly become one of the best up-and-coming team-themed sites on the internet with a followership of over 9k on Facebook and over 18,000 readers per year.
