Dave Randall - Bio

David Randall was raised in Michigan. Along with his parents, Jim and Darlene, and 5 siblings, Dave spent most of his years growing up in a small farming community near Battle Creek. His father was a pastor and a teacher in the public schools. His mother is now retired and still lives at the family homestead.

At a young age, Dave’s passion for music was fostered by singing with his family on those long road trips to visit his grandparents and later singing in church. After high school, David pursued his education at Spring Arbor College, where he met his wife, Jayne (Hegwill). They traveled with the college vocal group, Common Bond, around the United States. Not long after graduating from college they were married.

Dave and Jayne now reside in Clarksburg, Ontario. Dave is a school teacher in Thornbury at Beaver Valley Community School, where he teaches instrumental music to grades 7 and 8. They have two teenage daughters, Chelsea and Rachel. Chelsea is in her first year of university, pursuing her love for music and theatre. Rachel is in her final year of high school and uses her passion for horses and equestrian skills to teach children at summer camps.

Since recording his first CD in June 2001, Dave has traveled around the United States and Canada singing gospel music at many churches, festivals and community events.

In September 2004, David won the Solo Talent Competition at the National Quartet Convention in Louisville, KY. Along with singing on the TV show, 100 Huntley Street, Dave has preformed the national anthems at the Skydome in Toronto and at Comerica Park in Detroit.

Dave acknowledges that this ministry is not something he set out to do. He says of it all, “There were a lot of small steps that I took, not realizing it was God moving me in this direction. I had no idea where I was going, but still kept stepping through the open doors. The few final pushes into this ministry were undoubtedly orchestrated by the Holy Spirit.” Looking back, David sees God’s hand clearly leading him to this place. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to tell the gospel story that I love.”
