Randy began his career in the construction industry at the age of 14 under a craftsman in Bristol.

He received a Structural Engineering degree from the University of Tennessee.  In 1979 he relocated to Naples, Florida where he  continued working in the industry and obtained his Florida General Contractor’s  license.

After working on some exciting projects in Naples, in 1996 Randy returned home to Bristol to obtain his GC licenses in Tennessee and Virginia in order to partner with his long time friend,  Steve Martin, who owned our sister company H.S. Martin Construction. H.S. Martin has grown to a leader in the construction industry in the Tri-Cities area.

Randy  again relocates back to Naples in 1997 but continues to travel between Naples  and his beloved mountain home.  Since then the projects he’s had the opportunity to manage range from large golf course development projects to gulf front estate homes for some of the most reputable construction firms in our country.
