He started carving as a teenager on North Vancouver's Capilano Reserve, under the guidance of local artists, and was especially influenced by well known carver Henry Hunt, Sr. In 2007, Randy was included in the "Sharing Myths" exhibition at Ohio's Sandusky Cultural Center, and he was recently an artist in residence at the Center along with his wife Janice Morin, who is also an accomplished Coast Salish artist. His work is in several notable collections including the Bill Gates Microsoft Collection, where it is on permanent exhibit.
