After the Coast Guard, Randy managed IMS and opened up his office here in Great Falls with much success even making the paper for all the jobs he was bringing to town. Later, he would go on to manage the Columbia Grain in Carter until his retirement.

Growing up he was always up for an adventure whether it be riding dirt bikes, racing or wrecking a car with his best friend, Dean, anything he could do to make it a challenge there was always excitement. He was an avid sportsman and received many first place trophies in bowling and golfing in Montana and other states.
