Randy lives in Seattle, Washington with Aaron, his husband of eighteen years. In 2001, they were married in a Civil Union in Vermont. Then re-married in Victoria, Canada in 2003. And, if that was not enough, they were re-re-married in San Francisco in 2008, now that's married. Randy's favorite vacation was a trip with his husband Aaron to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. "We went zip-lining (a humorous event considering I am afraid of heights), swam with dolphins (even though I can't swim), and went horseback riding (I rode a mean rocking horse when I was kid)." Randy is a machinist by trade and as far as he knows, he's the only gay machinist around. He has a son, Randy II, and two dogs, Katy, Benjamin, and one cat, Felix. Randy's hopes his true-life experiences will attest to today's gay youths that, Life does get Better.
