Randy R Brown

Founder & CEO

Randy is the Chief Commercial Officer for a leading U.S. Commercial-Industrial Door Repair Services Firm and the Founder & President of BC/DC (Breast Cancer – Dollars & Coins) – a 501c3 Not-for-Profit Charity that leverages the power of Classic Rock-n-Roll Music to Drive Donations for Breast Cancer Research. His classmate and longtime friend Kim Schmidt is the brainchild of the BC/DC idea and an 18-year breast cancer survivor herself.  As a musician inspired by her idea, Randy enthusiastically turned BC/DC into reality – generating over $10,000 in their first music-themed charity event in 2023.
