Randy graduated from South Dakota State University in Brookings, SD in 1993. He began publishing Wisconsin Meetings and Incentives magazine in 1994. Due to overwhelming demand, in 1996, Randy converted the magazine to Midwest Meetings. In 2004, publishing began on the overwhelmingly successful annual Midwest Meetings Guide Book, and in 2006, Midwest Meetings magazine went quarterly.

Today, Midwest Meetings is the most recognized publication of choice for meetings in the Midwest region.

Outside of work, Randy is a proud father of two (shown here) and a big fan of golfing and riding his motorcycle. His favorite things to do are spending quality time with his two children and working on the house he just built out in the South Dakota country.
