Randy has been the “voice of the World’s Oldest Rodeo®” for the past 37 years, and many generations of rodeo fans, families, and contestants have grown fond of him over nearly four decades. He is considered a great friend of Prescott Frontier Days® because of his longevity, loyalty, and the knowledge he brings to the sport of professional rodeo.
Before each performance, he studies the contestants, gaining awareness of the latest developments in their rodeo careers. It makes for great rodeo when he can announce and discuss their latest accomplishments. He understands the sport of rodeo and it resonates with fans and contestants of this traditional rodeo.
Randy is active year-round announcing professional rodeos (big and small) throughout the U.S. and is one of the announcers at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (WNFR) in Las Vegas every year, 18 times to be exact (1985- 86, 1992, 1994-96, 2007-2020). The WNFR is the Super Bowl of rodeos and draws people from all over the world.
