As a boy, John Cottam (proprietor of the Spectacle) found himself hunched over a flickering candle one day trying to adjust his eyeglasses for a better fit. “Glasses shouldn’t have to be uncomfortable,” he remembers thinking.
Travis began his optical career in Las Vegas at a well known “One Hour” optical chain store. He was quickly promoted to Lead Laboratory Technician while still in high school!
