Randy and I worked together on a variety of projects. One of the most notable was the ERP implementation @ BIC. Randy was unbelievable in his ability to overcome obstacles. He is tremendously customer focused (internally/externally) and is an outstanding resource for all who work for and with him.

I worked with Randy for 10 years while at BIC. Of those 10 years we spent the last 2 years working on IT related manufacturing improvements. Randy took the time to thoroughly understand our programming needs and implemented them. Once implemented he didn't just walk away he and his team ensured the projects were taken to completion and his customers were completely satisfied. Randy is a pleasure to work with and always willing to extra lengths to get the job done.
