Randy grew up with one half-brother. He also has four older siblings from his dad's previous marriage, but since Randy was raised in Oregon and they were in Texas, he almost never saw them. He is now in email contact with three of them (one is deceased).

 Randy wasn't raised in a Christian home, but years later both of his parents became believers, though his mother placed her faith in Christ many years before his father did. See the article "My Father's Conversion to Christ."
