Travis Rodd

Director of Purchasing


Travis is a native of South Carolina, originally from Charleston, and spending some time in the Midlands, before landing in the Upstate where he now lives with his lovely wife, Hope and their five children. His friends know him as “T-Rodd” and love that he is a loyal friend that they can always count on, whether it’s for advice, a good laugh, or getting things done. He balances a laid-back approach with a can-do sense of responsibility, making him fun to be around but also someone they respect and trust.

When Travis was growing up, he originally wanted to be an anesthesiologist. In high school, he played soccer, was on the rifle team, and played concert and jazz trumpet, which he continued throughout college. He found his calling as a business professional while attending Erskine College and Lander University. After his time in college, Travis spent over 20 years in sales and customer support roles, followed by the last 7 years in purchasing and supply chains for manufacturers, before coming to work for Gabriel Builders. He loves the gratification of finding creative solutions to solve the logistical puzzles of supply chains and purchasing.

Travis constantly strives to take ownership, accountability, and responsibility for outcomes. He pursues quality work to ensure that projects are completed precisely and has a strong drive for continuous improvement. Travis dedicates himself to ensuring that projects progress smoothly, focusing on long-term value and strong relationships.

When he isn’t at work, Travis can be found attending one of his kids’ various extracurricular events or walking/biking with his wife, Hope.
