Randy started playing rugby in the early 90’s while in the US Navy and afterwards primarily with Triad Rugby, finally hanging up his boots in 2008. After 12 years coaching HS football and fast pitch softball, he started coaching rugby and became the Head Coach for the UNC Chapel Hill Women's Rugby Team.
Including the Carolina Geographic Rugby Union (CGRU) U23’s, Randy assisted with the USA Rugby South U23's, Capital Selects, various sevens teams, the South Atlantic Rugby Conference All-Stars, the SARC Sharks, and now at the Varsity level at Guilford College.
He believes that a coach's primary responsibility is to encourage and support the athletes, and create a safe and fun environment and where the athletes can be themselves. His primary coaching style is to keep the game simple and fast and otherwise, stay out of the way.
