He grew up and worked on the family farm near Alton, Kansas and was a 1968 graduate of Natoma High School. He obtained his Bachelor of Engineering Degree at Kansas State University. Shortly thereafter, he obtained his small-aircraft pilot’s license.
Randy worked as a Mechanical Engineer at Ditch Witch in Perry, Oklahoma before moving back with his own family to assist his parents on the farm. He farmed full-time for over 30 years. In more recent years you could be sure to see his beloved sidekick, Frasier, with him.
