About Randy Keho:

Following a 2-½ year hiatus, due to the elimination of my corporate position as a result of Covid, I've grasped the opportunity to get back in the game. I've accepted a position as Business Development Manager for CorPro Signs, a local full-service sign shop. It feels great to be back in the marketplace, making new contacts and entering into partnerships that will expand our business. Contrary to popular belief, cold-calling remains viable. I've been welcomed into numerous businesses, both large and small, and provided the opportunity to show the benefits of working closely with my company.

Parental Caregiver Parent's Residence I resigned from a 20-year career in management and returned to my hometown to become a caregiver for my father. My mother was already living in the dementia unit of a local nursing home. After he began to display the onset of dementia, followed by the loss of sight in one eye, I couldn't leave the 86-year-old WWII veteran on his own. In November of 2015, he agreed to move into the same nursing home with my mother, although she no longer recognizes him..
