Before his retirement a few years ago, Randy was publisher of Western Horseman magazine, where he had spent 29 years. Before that he headed the Rodeo News Bureau and served as editor of Rodeo Sports News at the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. His considerable creative skills have been utilized in behalf of not only the Texas Longhorn industry but also the National Western Stock Show & Rodeo, the country's largest stock show.
