Biography

Randy received his degree in Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning from Utah State University in 1978. After graduation he began working with Environmental Associates, an architectural firm based out of Salt Lake City, and worked with them for several years before the firm evolved into Nelson Johnson and Partners. In 1993, Nelson Johnson and Partners merged with MHT Architects and the now familiar firm of MHTN Architects became one of the most prominent architectural firms in Utah, and began offering landscape architectural services.

After several successful years of exceptional landscape design, Randy was chosen to be the first landscape architect to become an Associate Principal in the history of MHTN Architects and is currently directing the firms landscape architectural practice.

Randy has had the privilege of working on many notable and award-winning projects, some of which include the Discover Corporate Campus, The University of Utah Ambulatory Care Center, Weber State University’s Bell Tower Plaza, The Arling Center and Lodge of the Tamarack Resort, the Main Street Plaza in Salt Lake City and the LDS Kiev Ukraine Temple. Randy and his design team have won several design awards including the prestigious ASLA Utah Chapter of Landscape Architects Honor and Merit Award.

Through years of collaborating on multidisciplinary projects, Randy has developed strong project management skills, an acute eye for detail, commitment to quality, and an innovative approach in the creation of public spaces. These acquired skills have brought him respect among his peers in the profession.

As a licensed landscape architect, Randy served for a period of 16 years over several terms on the Utah State Landscape Architect Licensing Board. He has also had an opportunity to serve as a grader of the licensing exams for the National Council of Landscape Architecture Licensing Board.

Two of his favorite projects were the Salt Lake City Main Street Plaza and the Weber State University Bell Tower Plaza. The Main Street Plaza is located in downtown Salt Lake City. The focus of the plaza is a elliptical reflecting pool which rests at the base of the campus’ historical architectural centerpiece and acts as the campus gathering area. The Weber State University Bell Tower Plaza is the heart of the campus and is the central gathering space for major campus activities. Cascading waterfall features provide a terminus to main campus corridors and enhance the pedestrian experience.
