Meet Midwest RV Center's Staff

Bob Meyer

Owner

W: 314-815-3604

I am a dedicated family man, proud owner, and RV industry professional with 42 years of experience. My wife and I have been blessed with four amazing children and many grandchildren.

Over the years, I've built my career around helping others create lasting memories through the RV lifestyle. One of the most rewarding parts of this industry has been the relationships and trust I've built along the way.

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new destinations, hiking through nature, and spending time on the golf course working on my swing. Whether I'm with family, helping customers start their next adventure, or enjoying the outdoors myself, I value creating meaningful experiences and making the most of every moment.

Hi! I'm Jake. I have grown up in the RV Business and I enjoy working in this industry almost as much as I enjoy partaking in it. I have both a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the University of Missouri-Columbia (Mizzou) as well as my Master's degree from Saint Louis University. I spend most of my free time outdoors, whether I'm golfing, fishing, hiking, camping, etc. I really enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling, and rooting for the St. Louis Blues and Cardinals.

Randy has been a dedicated professional in the RV industry since 2001, bringing over two decades of hands-on experience and knowledge to every customer interaction. Growing up in a family that spent countless years camping and traveling, he developed a deep appreciation for the outdoor lifestyle at an early age.

Today, Randy not only helps others find their perfect RV—he lives the lifestyle himself. He currently owns a Keystone Montana and enjoys traveling and spending time on the road, giving him real-world insight into what RV owners truly value.

His passion for camping and riding horses, combined with his personal experience as an RV owner, allows him to better understand the needs of fellow travelers. Randy takes pride in delivering honest guidance, top-notch service, and helping customers create lasting memories through their own RV journeys.

Randy's background isn't just professional—it's personal—and that's what sets him apart.

Hello, I'm John Fasanello. My wife and I got married in 2000, and we have four amazing kids. We also just welcomed our first grandchild. We all enjoy camping and traveling. We currently have a Class C motorhome that we purchased from Midwest.

Some time ago, I took my family to Midwest RV Center to trade in our camper. The process was amazing from the start. We were so impressed that we did it again a few years later. I worked in sales for over 17 years in my first career and decided to leave to start a new one with a family-owned company. After my prayers were answered and a sales position opened up, I took a leap of faith and was welcomed onboard—just like when I was a client. I started working here in the fall of 2025, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity.

An avid camper and hiker dating back to my Cub Scout days, I'm celebrating my 10th year in the camping business. I raised my two daughters visiting state parks with a travel trailer, then graduated to a fifth wheel when they were in high school, and later moved on to a motorhome as they headed off to college. I have a passion for visiting national parks and hiking out west. When I'm not out camping, I'm camping out at work, trying to make the world a better place—one happy camper at a time.
