Randy provides vision, leadership and extensive knowledge to guide NuVescor confidently towards its goals. He first experienced the M&A industry when he decided to purchase a business through a business broker. Later, as he worked closely with an M&A advisory firm to sell that business, Randy saw true value in working to fulfill dreams through successful business ownership transitions. As he worked at a few firms over the next five years, Randy began developing his own unique process and experienced great success. Randy founded Rua Associates in 2010, and in 2016 he and his wife and business partner, Tami, decided to purchase NuVescor and apply Rua’s successful process to NuVescor’s clients, seeing immediate results.

Randy has a BS in Engineering from Calvin College and an MBA with a concentration in entrepreneurship from the University of Southern California. He is a Certified Business Appraiser through the National Association of Certified Valuators and Analysts, a Certified Exit Planning Advisor through the Exit Planning Institute, and a Certified Advisor for the Value Builder System. In addition, Randy has served as an adjunct professor at Calvin College and Grand Valley State University.
