Background Information
Personal History:Born to a high school teacher Clara Oxford and Admiral Andrew Oxford of US Navy in South Carolina. Travis is the youngest of the three children. Growing up he always wanted to join the Army, unlike his older brothers who ended up joining the Navy.
As child he was a little handful as an energetic kid. His parents enrolled him the Martial Arts classes to challenge all his energy elsewhere and to give him the discipline and skill to his own level. By the time he was 12 he had taken his skills of Taekwondo to the nearly highest level. He moved on to Ninjutsu after looking for another challenge to test his skills. He went up to Hensōjutsu (disguise and impersonation) the tenth level.
As a student he was mostly top of his class and graduating from high school with full honors. Enrolling in the Army Academy at the age of 18, Travis graduated with the highest rank of the Cadet from the Academy.
He meets his wife in 1999, while on a break from the Army, before marrying her in February 2000. Their first child; a son was born in 2004.
He was approached by the SGC for take a temporary position on the Delta expedition in January 2006. At that time a Junior Major, Travis over the course of his time rose through the ranks over the time he was stationed and eventually leading to become Troy’s right hand man when Jerry Garcia resigned to look after his wife after her return from Titan Captive as the acting XO. He officially became the Executive Officer of Delta upon his return to the galaxy in January 2009; a position he still hold to this day.
While stationed at Delta, Travis had send few members to the Project Vedas, soon enough he himself eneded up here there for few months, leaving Kim McKinnon to take over the Expedition’s 2IC role till he returned, only to stick around for longer than planned. His role over at Vedas had mostly been a Chief Adviser to Admrial Matthew Oxford and Captain Robert "Bobby" Oxford. His elder brother and cousin respectively. The duo were refered to the SGC by him when Project Vedas failed to find any leaders. Today he his officially part of the expedition. Leaving McKinnon as the second in Command of Delta and Military Commnder. Now he has been dragged back home to fight a another enemy.

Personality:
A bit laid back with the urge of cracking jokes at the most appropriate and inappropriate times. He’s a prankster who loves to pull pranks on family and friends. But he’s also kind hearted to help out people in need and when they need it. When it comes to his family he’s the most stubborn soul in the house that he will move like lighting if anyone he loved was in danger to protect them.
However even with his laid back facade, Travis has a serious side that shows up on occasions. He has during his time on Delta and Vedas shown himself to carry out the toughest tasks given to him. He is not afraid to show that he could be relied on and get the job done.
He is also a team member who is more than willing to listen to those around him for input and then make a judged command decisions. Whether the input is from someone higher up, equal rank or below his; it also applies to the civilians as well. While some like his way of working, others don't. Even then challenges are presented.

Oxford Home
He looked from the files that were on his desk at his home office. He was locked away from his family and late into night was going through them. He had returned days back from Vedas and it seemed that Delta was calling again. For a moment he had the urge to call Troy and ask him what the deal was. Than again, he knew he would find out sooner or later once he got to the meeting. It had been a long time since he had been back to Delta. Situations unique to Vedic Galaxy had kept him on his toes. New allies and foes.
His another short stint looked to be permanent. Very much like Delta before it, Vedas was going to play for keeps. It didn't help that his brother was there as was Bobby. With a yawn, he moved on to the second page. The former Delta XO wasn't going to like this one bit, he had a funny feeling about this. But one other hand, he would get to see old commandments in arms. Whoever said yes to coming. Picking up his coffee, he sipped the dark liquid. He eyed his cell phone, then the time, it was way too late to call anyone. Specifically McKinnon, the woman would really bit his head and maybe that husband of hers would join in too. First he leaves her in charge, then next is waking her up at a odd hour.
He heard the creek of the door and saw his daughter standing and rubbing her eyes, "Bad dream?" he asked, as saw a nod, put his work aside, "How about we chase them away?" A sleep smile was on the tiny face. Picking her up, he headed towards her room. It was going to be a long night. He held her tight when her arms came around his neck. The months he spend away were never easy. The time he had missed out on, he could only make up for that. He prayed that due in time his kids would understand his reasons for being away.
