Staff Spotlight, Randy Rabon
Assistant Park Manager, Randy Rabon
Growing up in rural Jefferson County, Randy was exposed to camping and fishing trips at an early age and enjoyed the outdoors and nature. Later in life Randy enjoyed camping and hiking trips in the mountains of north Georgia. He would take day long hiking trips to water falls in the area.
Randy began his working career with Department of Transportation, after eight years he took a job with Leon County Tax Collectors Office. He retired from Tax Collectors Office in 2007, and took a few years off.
In 2010, while riding on the Tallahassee - St. Marks Historic Railroad State Trail, Randy struck up a conversation with the trail manager and the rest is history. Randy started about two months later with the Office of Greenways and Trails as a ranger, working only weekends. After a short time Greenways and Trails was merged with the Florida Park Service.
In 2013, Randy was promoted to the trail coordinator and in 2018, Randy was again promoted to assistant park manager for the Tallahassee - St. Marks Administration, which includes eight parks in six counties and Letchworth-Love Mounds Archaeological State Park is one.
Randy enjoys talking with visitors and taking care of our cultural and natural resources.
