His passion for sports ignited at the age of five, leading him to excel in organized sports throughout his childhood. A standout athlete, he earned All-State honors in track during high school, where he set a record for the 800 meters that remained unbroken for 11 years.

Randy’s dedication to fitness and athletics opened doors to full scholarships at several prestigious universities, allowing him to pursue his passion on and off the field. At 16, he began Olympic weightlifting, achieving impressive personal records of a 300-pound deadlift and a 185-pound clean and jerk. At 19, he had the opportunity to play with the St. Louis Cardinals, further showcasing his athletic prowess.

At the age of 22, Randy began his martial arts journey, earning his first of many black belts in Isshinryu.

He holds a 9th-degree black belt in Bando and a 7th-degree black belt in Karate. This milestone marked the start of his lifelong dedication to martial arts. His training expanded to include a variety of styles, such as extensive study in Burmese Bando, as well as Northern Shaolin, Pai Mei, Tai Chi Chuan, Yi Chuan, Aikido, Jujutsu, and Judo. Randy has worked to integrate all these techniques into his teaching, encouraging practitioners to develop not only their combat skills but also their awareness, timing, and adaptability. He also emphasizes the importance of integrating fitness training alongside traditional Burmese, Chinese, and Japanese martial arts. Over the next 25 years, he taught martial arts while incorporating fitness into his programs.

Randy’s contributions to the fitness community include managing Chattanooga Health Studio and teaching at the Downtown YMCA for over a decade.

He was also hired by the military to help recruits improve their fitness and combat readiness, developing a men’s-only military-type training program named “Randy’s Rangers,” which focused on rigorous physical conditioning and teamwork.

In pursuit of his entrepreneurial vision, Randy launched his own fitness business, creating specialized training programs that cater to diverse populations.

His “Athletic Prep” program achieved notable success with the Baylor football team and other high school and college athletes.

Randy has trained a variety of professional athletes, including NBA player Gerald Wilkins and several international basketball stars, such as Tshombe High, Nelson Kirby, Johnny Taylor, and Bryan Coe, who was a catcher for the Kennesaw State baseball team and later drafted to play professional baseball. His expertise extends to personal training for women in sports and pageants, with numerous titleholders in beauty contests, including several Miss Chattanooga winners, several Miss Hamilton County winners, several Miss Tennessee winners, and a Miss America First Runner-up.
