Randy’s earliest influences in music came from his family in his hometown of Pampa, Texas.  His mother was always the church pianist wherever they lived.  His grandmother and aunts always led worship.  Everyone in the family played an instrument or sang.  When he was 10, the family moved to Midland in West Texas.  The church had a show on TV, so as a young voice in the choir, Randy was on television every week.

Later in life, once in Houston, Randy was the lead singer for a local Christian rock band.  The band spent time in the recording studio, producing a record that got airplay on KSBJ radio.  He decided to go to school to further his musical interests, majoring in music and playing with the HBU Jazz Band.  He was worship leader for a local church for a few years before the career change to the teaching profession.

Randy has three sons.  Joshua, the oldest, is currently working on a Masters Degree at the University of St. Thomas.  William, the middle son, is degreed in mechanical engineering and is working for the Ford Motor Company in Detroit, Michigan.  Thomas, the youngest, has a full-ride scholarship to HBU and has his eyes set on being a doctor.  And the best thing about all three boys is that they are all strong Christians!
