Congrats to Home Watch Today of Sarasota, FL, on their accreditation by the NHWA!​

Howdy Hudson and Ray Driggers

Home Watch Today, of Sarasota, Florida, has earned accreditation from the NHWA.

John “Howdy” Hudson has been a resident of Sarasota for over 20 years, while Raymond Driggers has been a Florida resident for 15 years. Both Howdy and Ray have owned several homes in the Florida market. They have a combined 50 years of professional experience as it relates to home management, maintenance, service, and working with other contractors.

Before Home Watch Today, Howdy, a Wilmington, Delaware native, was a 25-year banking professional who worked for major national banks managing brands and product development.  He joined the trades 12 years ago, managing and developing major brands. Additionally, Howdy ran advertising nationally for 37 company-owned locations plus 400 franchise owners. He is a graduate of the University of Delaware.

Ray, a Charleston, South Carolina native, is a 25-year veteran in the Home Service industry who started his home service career at age 15 working for Sears and Roebuck. Over the course of his tenure, he ran multiple service experts locations, including Regional Director for the Southeast Markets. Ray was recognized as a Presidential Award winner for Operational Excellence for nine years, including General Manager of the Year for North America. Ray attended The Citadel.

In 2018, Howdy and Ray purchased their HVAC company and have built a great reputation, becoming one of the top locally owned and operated HVAC companies in the Sarasota and Manatee market. After working with many snowbirds in their current business, they recognized the need for Home Watch services. Home Watch Today is the perfect complement to their HVAC company.

Howdy and his bride, Georgia, have been married for 27 years. They have two young professional adults: Miles in Sarasota and Olivia in Miami. Additionally, they enjoy spending time with their King Charles Cavalier, Dallas.
