Randy currently participates in and teaches "ALICE" training to local businesses, manufacturing, schools, and others concerned with having an Active Shooter response plan. In 2015, Randy was commissioned with the Batesville Police Department as a Reserve Officer. When Randy isn't wearing his insurance hat, uniform/BDU's, or otherwise volunteering in his community, he can be found thoroughly enjoying family life with his wife, Michelle; daughter, Bailey and fur-kid Abby. At home Randy is hailed as grilling guru, spaghetti chef extraordinaire, fixer of broken things, and all around superman.
