Family & Veteran Owned Small Business
A little about us, we are a family and Veteran owned small business specializing in mobile gaming and entertainment.
Both owners, Shannon & Travis, started playing video games on the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Over the years, both continued to play and eventually introduced their children into the world of gaming.
One day, Travis (the dreamer), proposed starting a mobile gaming truck business. Shannon, eager but cautious, agreed that there was a demand locally. They both got started building a business plan and began research on a top-of-the-line gaming trailer. The rest is history.

This is me (Travis) in 1987, which would have been about the time we got our Nintendo. I searched high and low of a photo of someone opening a gaming console, but I could not find one.
This photo was likely taken about 1996. I cannot tell what I am playing but that is my little brother smiling at the camera. I remember this spot fondly; it is where I played all the classic Sierra Entertainment games on my grandmother’s PC. The likes of Kings Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest (my favorite) and Leisure Suit Larry.
The pictures below are of our Game Room in our old house I built the kids. This was the inspiration for 1-Up Game Truck. It was a quaint space, but the kids and I loved it!
