Randall graduated from Hannan Trace High School on 1967 and went on to receive an Associate Degree in Architectural Design. He used this degree to excel at his gift as a carpenter.

Randall lived his life to the fullest excelling at many other trades as well including: custom woodworking, design, building inspector, gardening, cooking, canning, canvas painting, singing, songwriting and making sweet music with his brothers and friends with the Mullins Brothers Last Shot Band.
