James & Randi

State Ambassadors of Utah

James and Randi have been married for over 20 years and are blessed with five children and two grandchildren. They call the beautiful southwest corner of Utah home.

Within this community, they found encouragement, fellowship, and practical tools to help their marriage thrive. Today, they are passionate about walking alongside other law enforcement couples and reminding them that strong marriages don’t happen by accident; they’re built on purpose.
