He graduated from Virginia’s Hargrave Military Academy in 1985, then went to college in Gainesville where he received a Hotel, Restaurant and Travel Degree.

He has worked in Mexico, Bahama, The Dominican Republic and, of course, the States. His travel started when, after Johnson and Wales in Providence, he became Sous Chef for the Ramada Inn corp. He worked there until he landed the coveted Pastry Chef position at Club Med. He remained there for five years. Randy’s cooking background is also quite diverse. Returning from Club Med, he worked in various ethnic restaurants, Italian and American among them. In September of 1998 he joined the Smith & Wollensky Restaurant Group.
