Randy Weaver
At the age of 11, after failing hard at skateboarding, Randy took his board back to the store for a refund and bought a TRS-80 Color Computer 2. This event changed his future (and perhaps the sport of skateboarding) forever and sparked his lifelong love for computers and programming. Currently, he’s a software engineer at Rumpke (a waste and recycling company) in Cincinnati, OH. When he’s not geeking out on CoCo projects and events, he’s writing and recording in his home studio, “camping” (in an RV), boating in Tennessee and living the life.
