About Travis Haley
Travis Haley is a former Force Reconnaissance Marine, firearms trainer and gear designer best known as the founder of Haley Strategic Partners (HSP), headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona. Raised on a Florida farm, he passed on a college football opportunity to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps, where he spent about 15 years, including combat tours in the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia. After the military he worked as a special operations and security contractor. He then founded Simply Dynamics, which joined Magpul Industries as its training arm, Magpul Dynamics, and he later served as CEO of Magpul Industries before leaving to build HSP.
For armed citizens, Haley is known for helping bring advanced carbine and pistol instruction to the civilian market, and for HSP courses such as D3 Disruptive Environments, taught by staff the company calls coaches rather than instructors. HSP also designs field-tested gear, from chest rigs and textiles to the IncogX appendix holster line developed with Safariland, which offers optics-ready versions and an attached magazine carrier. HSP’s Scottsdale facility includes a computer-driven simulator range used for training. Recent industry profiles describe Haley as still leading HSP, with the company focused on performance-driven training and product development.
