Randy was born and raised in Ohio and later attended a liberal Arts college in Florida. His focus was on business and his career has followed suit working with many sports related companies. He is still working his day job but in his spare time he pursues his passion in writing. He is currently working on more rhyming verse adventures.
When a Monster Moves into Your Washing Machine and Crocodile Bath are by no means Randy's first stories...but they are both in his first published book. He began by creating impromptu but entertaining stories for his own children many years ago. Writing many of his stories down, he has referred back to them over the years to entertain family, friends, and now his own grand nuggets. Randy's work caught the attention of a talented illustrator and his publisher. The resulting collaboration gave him the opportunity to bring his unique storytelling style to life for others to appreciate. We can't wait to see what imaginative yarn he weaves next!
