As a Microsoft Certified Master, Randy founded SQL Solutions Group in October 2010, after more than 20 years in the technology industry. Randy has a passion for solving what can seem to others to be insurmountable problems. His prowess with SQL Server earned him the label “database whisperer” from one satisfied customer. Randy is a Microsoft Certified Solutions Master in SQL Server 2008. In 2020 he completed certification for Azure Fundamentals. In addition, he has numerous Novell, Microsoft, and Cisco legacy certifications. Prior to founding SSG, he spent many years as a Database Administrator in a variety of industries, including financial services, telecommunications, and with well-known dot com properties. As a data professional, Randy says he has done lots of fun stuff, encountering the most interesting data during his time as database architect for match.com (and no, he didn’t meet his wife while working there). In addition to getting elbow-deep in data, Randy enjoys taking part in and presenting at SQL Server events nationwide, including SQLSaturday, User Groups, SQL PASS Rally and SQL PASS Summit. In Randy’s words, “We’ve assembled a great team of SQL Server Consultants at SQL Solutions Group, and we have the talent to tackle anything.”
