Today we’d like to introduce you to Adam Sandoval.
Hi Adam, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
For most of his adult life, Adam has taken the road less traveled. A born entrepreneur and philanthropist, he is used to working hard and fighting for what he believes in. Adam revved the engines of the motorcycle world in 2014 with his creation of ScootinAmerica, a two year road trip to raise money for our military, which stemmed from his passion for riding motorcycles and was fueled by his regret of not serving in the military. Adam’s plan was simple – to give back to those who served.
With his canine co-pilot named Scooter on his back, Adam Sandoval completed his mission to visit every Harley-Davidson dealership in the lower 48 states in order to raise money and awareness for our military and their families. During those two years on the road, Scooter and Adam rode cross country six times, logged over 80,000 miles, visited almost 700 Harley-Davidson dealers, while raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for our nation’s heroes.
Upon the completion of his ScootinAmerica tour, Adam set out to complete another goal of owning a campground where he could provide a location for the motorcycling community to come together, and to provide a place of respite for veterans, free of charge. Adam then went on to purchase the K River Campground in Moyers, OK, and just a few years later, the Route 62 Motor Lodge in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Veterans are welcome to come stay at no charge in both of these locations – something which Adam is exceedingly proud of.
In 2023, Adam found himself yearning to find a new way to fulfill his desire to do even more for veterans. Driven by his unwavering commitment to this cause, he embarked on an incredible journey that would ultimately transform the lives of countless individuals. Partnering with the renowned Wounded Warrior Project and iconic motorcycle brand Harley Davidson, Adam embarked on a nearly three month mission that would soon become known as the “Great American Convoy.”
Throughout this incredible journey, Adam crisscrossed the country, visiting an astounding 120 Harley Davidson dealerships. His mission was twofold: to celebrate Harley Davidson’s anniversary and, more importantly, to raise awareness and support for the Wounded Warrior Project. The Great American Convoy was not just a cross-country tour; it was a powerful symbol of unity and gratitude for those who had sacrificed so much in service to their nation. At each dealership, Adam engaged with fellow riders, veterans, and supporters, sharing stories, fostering connections, and amplifying the cause’s significance.
One of the most heartwarming and generous acts during this journey was the moment Adam decided to give away his very own anniversary edition Road Glide, a cherished Harley Davidson motorcycle. Through the combined efforts of Adam, the Great American Convoy team, and the generous supporters they encountered along the way, an astonishing $600,000 was raised for the Wounded Warrior Project.
Most recently. Adam just completed the 2024 Great American Convoy, which brought him back on the road for just over 30 days, during which time he teamed up with Harley-Davidson to give away another brand new motorcycle, this time of the winner’s choosing, and managed to raise over $160,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
