Resident of the Month
Randall Grau
Meet Randal Grau, a man with a passion for nature, adventure, and making a difference! Born in Cincinnati, Randal moved to New York and later New Jersey, where he completed his college studies in Environmental Science and Biology. His career took him from restoring coal mines in Kentucky to protecting wildlife in the beautiful Florida Keys for over 40 years.
While working with Florida Fish and Wildlife, Randal played an important role in managing conservation lands and protecting endangered species. From tackling invasive plants to chasing pythons (yes, really!), his days were anything but ordinary. He even helped remove alligators from neighborhood pools—talk about an exciting job!
Randal recently retired and chose Tennessee to be closer to his family and friends. He has always loved the people he worked with and took great pride in keeping the land pure.
When he’s not sharing stories from his incredible career, Randal enjoys traveling and embracing life’s next adventure. We’re so happy to have him here with us!
