HOUSTON - Travis McGee, a native Houstonian, was born and raised in historic Sunnyside. He attended B.H. Grimes Elementary School, Attucks Middle School and Evan E. Worthing High School, respectively. While a Worthing Colt, he participated in track and field and was also a member of the 1992 Region III Basketball Championship team that advanced to state during his senior year.
Determined to become a positive, productive citizen, Travis briefly attended Texas Southern University, but due to financial aid ineligibility had to withdraw. Undeterred, Travis transitioned into the work force, and later enrolled in Texas Barber College. After fulfilling the coursework necessary to become a licensed barber, he began working at Player’s Barbershop located in Southpark area of Southeast Houston. A year and a half later, he became owner and sole proprietor of McGee’s Hall of Famers Barbershop. McGee’s Hall of Famers Barbershop, which is located in the Sunnyside Garden neighborhood, opened for business in October, 2005.
