“Randy is conceptually a very, very bright thinker,” says
Glen Raven CEO Allen Gant Jr., grandson of founder John
Quinton Gant. “He has the capacity to walk into a room and

come alive. Randy has an incredible ability to understand and
coordinate color. His styling and design pushed us to use more
color and more design than we probably would have.”
