We are pleased to welcome L. Randall (Randy) Buescher, AIA to the Epstein Family! Randy is our new director of architecture based in our Chicago office and he joins Epstein with over 30 years of experience in the design and building industry. Previously Randy was the Practice Leader of the International Group at HOK Chicago where he worked extensively in India as well as the Middle East and Turkey. Randy has vast experience working on large mixed-use developments and has lead numerous 10M sf + projects during his career.

In addition to leading design studios Randy has also owned a high-end cabinet shop and construction firm company, been a welder, as well as managed his rental property. Randy is a graduate of the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) with a BFA in Sculpture and a MArch from the University of Illinois (Go Illini!). (Question Randy when Michigan faces off against Illinois who do you root for? And dont say both!)

An interesting side-note Randy has also been a playwright for stage and screen. In fact, his screenplay for "Drunkboat" was produced in 2010 and features John Malkovich and John Goodman. (BTW Drunkboat is available on Netflix now check it out!)

Randy and his wife Janet have 4 children (including twins), 2 grandchildren and a boxer. Randy spends any free time (wife, 4 kids, 2 grandkids & dog and you have free time?) working on his 1880s Romanesque Revival townhouse on the Southside of Chicago.

Lastly, Randy is an active member of the Ace Mentoring board, chairing the Design Build group and on the Board of the Friends of Jones High School.

Once again welcome to the Epstein Family Randy and we expect to see a draft of The Epstein Movie on our desks shortly!
