After 11 incredibly physically demanding years in the trenches of NFL, Keith Sims was ready for a change of pace. Little did he know his wife, Tia, had been plotting for years for this very moment. Tia had long ago decided the best way for their family to travel with their three little boys was by RV. She had been dragging Keith to RV shows for years. Tia put forth such a powerful case for the family to try Rving that Keith had no choice but to agree. Now the whole family is hooked! The Sims family home base is in the Atlanta area, but they typically spend over 100 days/nights each year touring this country. Tia uses the travel to enhance the boy’s homeschool education. The whole family loves the space and flexibility that RV travels gives the family. The Sims family are very active with the RV influencer community. They are a spokes-family for GoRving , having starred in TV, online ads, and print ads in various magazines including Oprah’s "O." They recently began working with Camping World as well as many other companies within the RV media industry. They focus on promoting family and minority RVing. You can follow their adventures at their blog Soulful RV Family.
