He is an advocate of renewable energy (PV) and energy efficiency and was first introduced to the solar industry in the fall of 2002, while living on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.   The introductory event was his first attendance at the  Solar Decathlon, hosted by the Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EE/RE) in Washington, DC. , on the Capitol Mall.

That day was a life changing event, which peaked his interest and thus began his preliminary research at the Department of Energy, Office of EE/RE, and the Library of Congress.  His research included the EE/RE emerging market,  manufacturing companies, and leading edge technologies.   He then attended his second Solar Decathlon in 2005, in Washington DC, while still working in the Information Technology (IT) industry and decided at that point that he would change career paths, relocate to San Antonio, TX and pursue a career in the EE/RE industry.  That decision took a year to materialize and he left Washington, DC to return to San Antonio, TX in OCT 2006. 

Randolph met his current business partner and co founder/CEO of Tierra Verde Solar, James “Hoss” A. Boyd in 2007.  Hoss at that time was the president of an electrical contracting company in New Braunfels, TX.   Thus began a professional relationship that expanded upon his EE/RE knowledge base and experience and eventually grew into a business opportunity.  Hoss and Randolph decided that the future was in the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy market and incorporated Tierra Verde Solar inc., headquartered in New Braunfels, TX in November 2009.

He currently resides in San Antonio, TX, having relocated from New Braunfels, TX in 2008, Washington, DC in 2006 and Heidelberg, Germany in 2000.
