Travis Kindler
You've built something real. But growth has started to feel heavier instead of lighter—every decision still runs through you, meetings churn without accountability, and your leadership team is waiting on you instead of driving alongside you.
I know that seat, because I sat in it for over 20 years. I grew up in our family business and took over Kinco at 24. Over the years that followed, I transformed it from its industrial roots into a significant player in the retail work glove market—building a national sales force, driving technological efficiencies, and scaling well beyond what one founder could hold together alone. Eventually I sold the company, which gave me the full arc of experience: what it takes to grow a business, professionalize it, and exit on your own terms.
I earned most of these lessons through experience—often the hard way. As a Bloom Growth Coach, I now help leadership teams compress that learning curve. Together we clarify the long-term vision, establish clear priorities and reliable meeting rhythms, and install real accountability for execution. At the same time, I focus on your leadership team—engaging them, developing their capability, and giving them genuine ownership—so the organization grows as fast as the business and scales without you remaining the limiting factor.
I'm passionate about business. I love talking shop, mentoring entrepreneurs, and learning from other owners. I've been an active member of the Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) Portland Chapter since 2007, including multiple board roles that shaped how I think about leadership, accountability, and sustainable growth.
Outside of coaching, you'll find me cycling, skiing downhill fast, injecting humor wherever I can, and especially spending time with my family.
