Randall used to live the corporate life, working in big advertising agencies and video game companies in NYC and California. But after he lost his father, his job, his house, and his music studio all within a few months, he retreated from the matrix and found refuge in Yoga. With time and practice, he’s been able to find peace, balance, and joy despite seemingly insurmountable odds.

Randall completed his RYT200hr in Sri Lanka during 2020; received his Pranayama certification through The Breath Center in 2019; graduated from LSU with a degree in Communications in 2013; and has been playing music since 1998.
