Randy loves to read, enjoy the outdoors, and spend time with his family. He enjoys going to the gym and took up aquatic therapy to exercise and make new friends. He’s come a long way since he experienced a car accident, which led to traumatic brain injury (TBI) and stroke-like symptoms as a result back in 2017. Recently, after seven years of outpatient physical rehabilitation, he has been discharged. I had the honor of speaking to him recently to hear how “Randy 2.0,” as he refers to himself, has transformed and how he is embracing his path forward.
