Randy attended grade school in Sully and graduated from Lynnville-Sully High School with the Class of 1988. During high school, Randy ran track and sang with the swing/show choir.

Randy pursued employment with Bates Flowers in Grinnell and worked for a short time at a nursing home in Monroe and at Walmart. His longest employment was at the Rolscreen Company in Pella.
