UVU PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
Travis Ashdown
Adjunct Instructor

BIOGRAPHY
I currently am employed full time with the Utah County Sheriff's Office as a Forensic Technician. As part of my day to day responsibilities, I process crime scenes, latent fingerprints, and spend a considerable amount of time with digital evidence including cellphones, tablets and computers. I currently hold an IAI certification in Crime Scene Investigation, and multiple digital evidence certs. I also serve on the Utah IAI board as 1st Vice President. My interests within the forensic world include photography, latent print examination, and digital forensics.Since starting as an adjunct professor, I have found teaching to be a wonderful experience and have thoroughly enjoyed developing relationships with the students. It is my hope as a professor to help students prepare for a career in law enforcement or forensics by relating real world experiences with practical forensic techniques.
While teaching or working, I love spending time with my family, golfing and doing pretty much anything outside.
