Randy’s communications style is enhanced by his innate sense of diplomacy – and even a bit of dry wit – that provides a model for attorneys looking to be more effective and comfortable in a media environment. His professional experiences on both sides of the aisle – both representing and pitching to the media – have helped him to perfect a balanced approach for delivering media results for his clients. Born and raised in Ohio and transplanted to Chicago, he carries that sense of yin and yang throughout his personal life, where he is as much at home at a Chicago Cubs baseball game as he is at a Broadway show.
