Co-founder

As a co-founder of Chapman Crafted, Randy does a bit of everything around our brewery and taproom – a true jack-of-all-trades. It didn't take much convincing for Wil to get Randy on board, and it's a partnership that's yielded incredibly fun results. Outside of the beer world, you can find him at home grilling with his family or on a trip to Vegas to hit the sportsbooks. His favorite quote, "Life is short, live it well!"
