Randy was born and raised in Rensselaerville, NY and for 20 years was a member of the HR team at Capital District Physicians’ Health Plan, Inc. in Albany. In April 2024, he left CDPHP to become the Executive Director at a nonprofit he has known for over 45 years.

When he was 19, his mother died of Ovarian Cancer. To continue in her footsteps, and keep her memory alive, Randy began financially supporting and volunteering at nonprofit organizations that were important to her. 

Twenty-two years after her death, Randy formalized the Tryon Family Foundation in 2020 to memorialize his mom and share the unique and deep-rooted history of the Tryon Family.

Dan was born and raised in Upstate, New York and for the past 24 years has worked for the State of New York. It was not until meeting Randy in 2011, that Dan’s interest in not-for-profit organizations began. As his interest evolved, he began working with Randy on his philanthropic endeavors and was instrumental in the creation of the Tryon Family Foundation in 2020.
