Randy was born on March 12, 1964, in Cumberland, and graduated from Hampshire High School, class of 1982. Randy held a certificate as a pilot driver in transporting oversized and heavy equipment. Throughout his life, Randy worked dealing and raising livestock, in which he was especially passionate about horses. He spent many years working his grandfather's business, See's Salvage Yard.
