Randy is a native of southeast Idaho growing up on a large cattle ranch and farm in which he continues to be engaged as a partner with his father. After receiving his Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance he continued to work the family ranch.

In 2005 Randy joined the USDA Rural Development team opening up a new eight county territory based out of Twin Falls, ID. While a Business Program Specialist with Rural Development he worked closely with lenders to facilitate commercial and Ag business lending. During his time with the USDA he was also the Value Added Producer Grant (VAPG) coordinator for the state of Idaho. The VAPG program assists agricultural producers in receiving grant funds as they look to add value to the commodities and products they grow, thus allowing for a greater return to their operation.

As a member of the Lookout Ridge team Randy will perform farm business planning, financial analysis, family business succession and transition planning, and other consulting services to farm and agribusiness clients.
