Randy lost his father (age 88) and his brother (age 71) to Alzheimer’s disease. The loss of Randy’s cherished older brother led him to retire from a successful career in advertising and marketing at the age of 69 and commit much of his free time to help end Alzheimer’s and all forms of dementia. Randy joined the Board of Directors of the Georgia Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association in 2023 and serves on both the Marketing and Advocacy committees. He’s consistently been one of the Chapter’s largest Walk Team fundraisers. Randy is also the chapter’s Ambassador for Senator Ossoff, focused on providing his office with updated progress on fighting the disease and encouraging the Senator to sponsor new legislation to support research, caregivers and early detection of the disease.
