Dr. Travis Baker & his family
From growing up on a farm, competing and coaching sports, to meeting his wife, and having two girls, Dr. Travis Baker has given his all in everything he set it out to do.
Small-Town Roots
Dr. Travis Baker grew up in Hoxie, Kansas, working alongside his three younger brothers on their family farm. Surrounded by generations of family, he learned early that hard work, consistency, and taking care of people matter—values that still shape the way he practices today.
Athlete, Husker and Coach
Travis is a member of NSAA Sport’s Medical Advisory Committee and he is an assistant Wrestling Coach for Skutt Catholic High School. Sports were part of Travis’s life from the beginning. His father was a longtime wrestling coach and member of the Kansas Coaching Hall of Fame, eventually inspiring Travis’s own path in athletics.
At the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, Travis competed as a Husker athlete in both wrestling and track & field. As a high jumper, he became an NCAA National Qualifier, four-time Big 12 medalist, and member of four Big 12 Championship teams while earning his degree in Community Health.
After graduation, he coached wrestling at Manhattan High School, helping lead the team to a Kansas Class 6A State Championship and earning Kansas 6A Assistant Coach of the Year honors.
Those experiences shaped a philosophy he still carries into patient care: understand how the body moves, find what’s holding it back, and help it perform at its best.
Family
Travis met his wife, Julie, while they were both at Manhattan High School—and, fittingly, their students helped bring them together.
Today, they call Omaha home with their two daughters, Allison and Caroline. Away from the clinic, you’ll often find Travis fly fishing in Colorado with his dad and brothers, cheering on the Huskers, or spending time outdoors with his family.
For Travis, it all comes back to something simple: work hard, take care of people, and make time for what matters.
