Travis Naughton is a stay-at-home dad and writer who married extremely well. His wife and children have accepted and perhaps embraced his lack of a work ethic and have supported him since his "retirement" which began in 2008. Originally from Hannibal, Missouri and a graduate of the University of Missouri, Naughton lives near another sleepy river town called Hartsburg, Missouri on ten acres of land situated near the Mark Twain National Forest where he admits, "I don't get out much," which actually explains a lot.
