In the following episode, you will meet Travis Gibson, a former Principal QA Engineer at Progress.

We interviewed Travis in March 2022 and we’re sad to report he passed away in March 2024 after a long battle with illness. He was a true representation of our ProgressPROUD values and he used his experience to serve others. In light of this, and with approval from his family, we have decided to keep this episode live as a way to honor his memory. Thank you.

For today’s episode, you’ll hear from Travis Gibson, Principal QA Engineer based in Georgia. And his life story is a whirlwind – he went from being a healthy adult to discovering that he would need a double lung transplant. What he and multiple doctors thought was a minor illness, turned out to be something very serious. And after his transplant surgery, he woke up 2 months later with new lungs, but with a long road to recovery.

Years later he still feels the effects of his transplant – but despite everything – the shocking diagnosis, surgery, crazy side effects people don’t tell you about  – he still finds time to help and serve others. He’s taking everything he’s been through – and still going through – to contribute to society, and to help people who may be going through a similar journey.
