The Associates

Randy is the professional “Cailor” in our firm, Cailor & Associates LLC… So, who are the “Associates“?

Randy explains…

 I was born and raised in the blue-collar city of Youngstown, OH. In 1979, I met Cathy the week before our senior year of high school. Our first date was Homecoming and we have been together ever since. We were married in 1985 and immediately moved to Ithaca, NY for graduate school at Cornell University.

We both started work after graduate school: Cathy as a 1st grade teacher and me as an engineer. Then in 1990, Cathy and I started our first business “venture” together by starting a family. We have been blessed with three precious daughters: Jennifer, Stephanie and Michelle.

Cathy stopped teaching for 14 years as we (mostly Cathy) raised our family while I dutifully progressed through my engineering career. I eventually became convicted that there was more to life than engineering success at the expense of family.

Well, I resigned my position of employ, and Cathy and I started our next business venture, founding Cailor & Associates LLC, in 1997. I am the President and Secretary while Cathy is the Vice President and Treasurer.

Cathy has been my business partner for 17 years, my loving wife for 29 years, and my best friend and girlfriend for 35 years. Jennifer, Stephanie and Michelle have worked hard supporting the company over the years: filing correspondence, answering phones, running to the bank, or whatever we have needed.

While the work hours have been just as long as before, our family has journeyed through life together and continued the blue-collar work ethic of my hometown and upbringing.

Hence, Cathy, Jennifer, Stephanie and Michelle are the “Associates” in Cailor & Associates. They are the loves of my life!
