The Story of Longdrivin"

(My father Gordie and I at Pebble Beach)

Thank you for your interest in LONGDRIVIN', my name is Randy and I am an entrepreneur.   It's not a long story when it comes to the creation of this adventure, in fact, it's just the opposite.  But first the minor details about me.  I grew up in Minnesota and Colorado as a child, my parents Gordie and Diane Howe met in Minneapolis where I was born.  Just in case you're wondering, my dad is not Gordie Howe the Hall of Fame Hockey player (even though he did play high school hockey and I was lucky enough to get the two Gordy's together for a chat in Las Vegas one afternoon)

My dad was my mentor, idol and golf buddy.  He passed away in August of 2019 suddenly as I was out of town in Kentucky becoming an Independent Sales rep for my first company, Preferred Marketing Solutions owned by Papa John's.  I got the call to hurry home on a Friday morning, however, I never made it home in time to say goodbye.

A few months later, I had big plans to launch a venture selling custom apparel, print, and promotional products in the sports and convention world of my hometown of Las Vegas.  I couldn't wait for the new year to arrive and with it a new career as my own boss for the first time.  January 2020 was going to be the beginning of something big, I could just sense it!

2020: SERIOUSLY?!!

Six months passed and I was refocused and ready to launch a new sports sales venture to help foundations, sports teams, youth sports organizations and companies enhance their businesses with the best unique and hand-picked products.  The Football Bowl Association and National Athletic Directors Association meetings were the first two trade shows on the calendar to display them when along came COVID-19, and suddenly all trade shows, conventions and sporting events with fans in attendance were canceled.  Now what???

Buy an RV?

LONGDRIVIN' IS BORN

It was time to make a move and have a little fun in the process.  A friend of mine gave me the idea that living in an RV would be inexpensive and interesting because he watched a lot of videos on YouTube about families who work and travel in them.  So I bought a used RV and went to work to convert it into a rolling trade show.  I had the idea to travel to all of the clients I missed at the conventions and went to work on a golf design.  The reason for picking a golf theme wrap was simple, HARVEST HOSTS.  It's a service you join that allows you to camp overnight for FREE at over 3400 locations around America.  Over 400 of those locations were golf courses, so I picked up a few golf companies to represent their products and decided to take a trip to the PGA show in Orlando in 2021 cruising in "ACE the RV"
