Randy is a pharmacist who graduated from Oregon State University in 1985. He, together with his wife of almost 25 years, Debbie, own a long-term-care pharmacy in Eugene. Shortly after they were married in 1994, they moved to Harrisburg, and fell in love with this great little town. They have been here ever since.

Randy has been involved with politics and local social committees for most of his adult life. From helping to form the H.A.R.T. Center here in Harrisburg and the Harrisburg City Planning Committee to serving on the Linn County Commission on Children and Families as well as the Linn County Local Drug and Alcohol Planning Committee. He served on the Harrisburg School District Board of Directors for 12 years before retiring in 2017. But not for long. The Mayor came calling in late 2018 asking if he would be interested in serving on the Harrisburg City Council. After talking and praying about it with his wife, they decided that this was a great opportunity to serve a great community with some really great people.

Randy and Debbie have four children, Brandi (30), Morgan (28), Haley(22) and Brayden (20) and two grandchildren, Averie (5) and Riann (2). In his spare time, Randy enjoys spending time with his family, camping with family and friends and the occasional round of golf.
