LaGrange, Georgia
Randy has been a member of AMR in LaGrange, Georgia, for four years. He started as an EMT but quickly progressed to paramedic. He has also taken on additional duties including FTO/Shift Supervisor, Disaster Response Team member, Director of Education and part-time fleet mechanic—all while making sure that 74 people of his EMS family feel welcome.
Randy asked if AMR could start some education classes. Once he got the approval, he was off and running taking on the responsibility from ordering books to understanding the Georgia licensure requirements. He has developed an EMT Basic Class and an AEMT Class, while developing three Level 3 instructors. Word has gotten out about the success of the AMR LaGrange education programs and they are now hosting four classes and have a waiting list. All because Randy recognized the need to do better as an industry in teaching the next generation.
Randy’s compassion for his team and his never say no attitude has made him very approachable, which allows him to help everyone from day one of employment to team members that have been at AMR for over 20 years. As Randy would say—making AMR great in “Two Thousand One Eight!”
