Team Robot House - The Team


Team Robot House is comprised of many members and volunteers who are all a great asset to our mission. The members of the board are invaluable to the success of the company and here are their stories.



Name: Travis Arket
Age: 25
Occupation: Entrepreneur, Commercial crab fisherman, Adventurer
Residence: Everett, Wa

As the Director of Team Robot House, Travis also manages a Seattle based production company and is a commercial crab fisherman in the Bering Sea. He is featured on the Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch series beginning April 15th. With an extremely diverse skill set, Travis has tackled some of the world's toughest jobs and terrains.

"I can't tell you how many times I've been robbed, attacked, thrown in the air by giant animals, beaten by riot police or lost in the middle of a sea with no map. What I can tell you is that for some reason after everything I've been through and everything I've seen, packing three big American guys into one tiny Indian rickshaw and driving non-stop through a variety of the world's most extreme environments, sounds like a good plan!"


Name: Matthew Crabtree
Age: 25
Occupation: Security risk anaylst
Residence: Seattle, Wa

One of the three founding members of Team Robot House. More to come...


Name: Jason Bain
Age: 28
Occupation: Graduate Student, Museology / Non-Profit Administration
Residence: Washington DC

One of the three founding members of Team Robot House. His expertise in the non-profit sector has helped Team Robot House become what it is today. A life long adventurer, Jason is a great asset to our team!

"In December 2002 at the age of 23, Travis and I sold all of our possessions and boarded a flight to Alaska (with no $$, no experience, no guaranteed job, and no place to stay) to do the world's deadliest job; crab fishing in the Bering Sea. Dozens of countries, countless flights/busses/trains/taxis, a few riots, several raging Spanish bulls, a voyage up the Adriatic coast with no map, armed robbery at the hands of the Romanian military, and one death threat by a Bosnian freedom fighter later the Alaskan experience seems tame by comparison. So, driving a 150cc beer can over the Himalayan range and across the Indian sub-continent during monsoon season makes perfect sense."
