Two words come to mind when describing Travis Rosen, excellence and determination. Travis continues the pursuit of athletic excellence and overcoming the seemingly impossible- all while pushing the limits of “perceived” age boundaries. 

Travis attended the University of Iowa, where he was an All-American gymnast. Having graduated with a major in Japanese and completing a one year study abroad program in Japan, Rosen loves the ties between his current pursuits and Japan. 

Travis has spent the past six years aspiring to conquer the formidable obstacle course known as American Ninja Warrior. A top five finisher in each of the past four seasons (3-6) including a personal best Stage 3 run in Season 5, and being the first American to climb the Stage 4 tower in Season 6’s USA vs The World- Travis continues to look to his wife, three kids and faith in Jesus for motivation and inspiration to be the first American to achieve total victory on the world’s most difficult obstacle course.
