Born into a military family, his travels carried him to both coasts and Puerto Rico while still a young child. Then at the age of fifteen, his life was eternally changed by Jesus Christ.
Pursuant to a call to ministry, Randy received a BA degree in religion and Greek from Union University. He later earned his MDiv from Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary of Memphis. While at Union, he met and married the love of his life, Cindy.
After ten years together, three children, and pastoring two churches, Randy and Cindy went to the mission fields of Central America. They served as church planters in Honduras and Nicaragua for eleven years with the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention.
Randy and Cindy now live back in Tennessee, where Randy serves with the Mississippi River Ministry, connecting churches to poverty areas within their community. He is still a missionary, now working through the Tennessee Baptist Convention. He sees writing as a channel of information, inspiration, as well as entertainment.
Randy has written for several Baptist publications, including Dimension Magazine, Missions Leader Magazine, Nuestra Tarea (Spanish Baptist Magazine), and the Baptist and Reflector (State newspaper). He has three other books in print, The Breach, The Bridge, and Poolside Reflections—all bearing the mark of missions.
Randy enjoys life. When time allows, he relaxes with family and friends in hammocks beneath a gallery built on their small homestead in Gibson County, a touch of Latin culture in West Tennessee. He enjoys telling stories that bring humor to life and Christ to heart.view less
