After graduating from Alamogordo High School in 1977, Randy developed his creative talent as a freelance sign painter. Many of his hand painted signs still grace the skies in Alamogordo, Albuquerque, throughout New Mexico and Colorado. As an adult, Randy's love of nature and animals frequently lead him to the great outdoors for camping, fishing, hiking, and spending much of his life in the New Mexico/Colorado wilderness.
