Travis May

From a large midwest family, Mr. May excelled early on and received a full-tuition scholarship to Central Michigan University. There, he earned his B.S. in Computer Science and Management Information Systems. Interested in networking and telecommunications, Mr. May worked for an early VoIP company iBasis. Moving to Los Angeles in 2002, Travis soon came up with the idea for a new start-up.

While on a business trip to a resort in Mexico, Mr. May wondered how Americans would call overseas to make reservations. He realized that forcing Americans to dial an international number such as 011-52-55 was an huge barrier to commerce, and that's when he came up with the idea of offering U.S. Toll Free Numbers to overseas businesses.

Twelve years later, TollFreeForwarding.com has over 25,000 customers and has expanded the same business model to include toll free and virtual phone numbers from over 125 countries.
