Born in Whittier, California in 1962, Randy's family moved to Houston when he was five. His father was a Mechanical Engineer and his mom, a housewife. Randy's mom loved gardening and took a lot of pride in the uniqueness of her back yard. Her wish was that everyone who visited felt they were in a Better Homes & Garden setting. One sister, Terri, is married and lives in Pearland. Randy attended Robert E. Lee high school in Houston and Texas A&M University where he received his first degree in Broadcast Journalism. He returned to A&M to work for the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences to produce radio and television material, where he also garnered his Masters degree in Agriculture. Part of his job was a spokesperson for the college where he researched and disseminated information on topics like Africanized Honey Bees and Red Imported Fire Ants. He also produced radio and television pieces on everything from beef cattle to horticulture. In 1986 He worked with Bill Zak and Ben Oldag, who then had the KTRH garden show. When Bill Zak retired in December of 1995, John Burrow suggested Randy as a replacement. Now, he and John have formed a new, exciting team. Judging from ratings and the number of advertisers, they are doing an exceptional job.
