In 1978 Randy and his wife Nancy left the US to serve in Egypt for what they thought would be a two-year missionary assignment. Little did they know that they would spend the majority of their adult life along the Nile, where Randy would design Arabic Christian literature and help to develop other Egyptian designers. Along the way, he began to do individual projects for the Bible Society of Egypt. This gradually expanded to a role in the United Bible Societies in 1999.

Randy currently has two roles in Bible Societies. He serves as Design & Creativity Coordinator for the new UBS Global Bible Publishing team, but also works in the Bible Society of Egypt, where he serves a Publishing Consultant.
