Your opinion matters, and I will greatly appreciate your support.
Another enjoyable interview. I loved his upbeat and can do attitude. While Randy was very open about his life, I was left with some questions.
He mentioned several times he barely graduated high school but was hired at 19 by a Swiss firm. I wonder what skill he possessed that got him that opportunity?
2nd I was curious who was first in the Garage Floor industry, SwissTrax or RaceDeck? Maybe SwissTrax was first with the open design.
Either way I will be looking into SwissTrax. I love the ingenuity of the lighted & heated flooring. Having a non heated garage here in PA, both would be welcome.
Always great to hear someone, especially a successful business person mention the Bible as an influential Book.
I hope you find your Red Chevelle.
