After graduating from Princeton University, Randy earned his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. He has practiced medicine in Southwest Pennsylvania for over 25 years, and he currently serves as the Medical Director of Employee Health Services for Allegheny Health Network [AHN], as well as the Diversity Officer for the AHN Primary Care Institute.

Randy became a Quaker in 1991, when he finally found what he had been looking for in the Central Philadelphia Monthly Meeting, with people who engaged in social justice work and who shared with him the testimonies that became the foundation of his beliefs. Following residency, he joined the Pittsburgh Friends Meeting, married under the care of Meeting, and taught Sunday School. Even after he had to leave the Meeting for Calvary Episcopal Church, he continued teaching Sunday School. In his last year of teaching, his co-teacher was a high school senior whom he had taught in his very first class (second grade). Although he is no longer active in church, the testimonies remain at the core of his personal beliefs and continue to guide him.

The Lancaster Friends School is committed to providing education with diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice. Although he has limited board experience (served on the board of a small private non-profit many years ago), he believes his knowledge and lived experience will be an asset to LFS in its mission. He is already engaged in DEI work in his own health care system.
