Randy Gerber

Founder + Principal, Gerber, LLC

In the heart of Columbus, Ohio's entrepreneurial ecosystem - and not far from the stadium of his beloved Buckeyes - is the office of Randy Gerber. Randy is a successful business owner, a devoted family man, an OSU alumnus (and arguably their biggest fan), and a leader in figuring out how to simultaneously have a successful business an a robust personal life.

Born and raised in Buffalo, New York, Randy knew he was called to do something different. He moved away from his family and the wings at Barbell Bill Tavern (his favorite food to this day), to attend The Ohio State University where he graduated from the Fisher College of Business. Bypassing the "safety" of a corporate career, he founded his own business in 1991. Gerber, LLC is a professional services business focused solely on improving the business and overall happiness of first-generation entrepreneurs. His holistic approach integrates his clients' personal ideas and aspirations with their business, life and financial goals. His business has 16 employees and has served over 200 clients.

Randy is publishing his first book, "The Integrated Entrepreneur: Achieving Happiness in Relationships, Business & Life" a decade-long project his friends teased would never be done. But it will be worth the wait. It describes how first-generation entrepreneurs can integrate work demands with the many personal relationships in life throughout the five stages of success and two stages of temporary failure. Citing personal experience and real-world examples, Randy's book is a must-read for any entrepreneur seeking the clarity and direction to be a success in both business and life.

Randy has been an active member of the Entrepreneur's Organization's Columbus Chapter, a global peer to peer network for entrepreneurs, serving as a board member six times since 2000. He has shared his professional speaking engagements around the country, including the Raymond James National Conference, EO, Vistage and Leadercast events; local events; and many webinars and podcasts.

Outside of the office, Randy enjoys having fun with his family and friends, and makes time to do both. He lives in Upper Arlington with his wife Emily, their three children, and their spunky golden doodle, Eddie. He's an exciting golfer - but not necessarily a good one - and he believes that laughter is the ultimate elixir. He's a firm believer in practical jokes and pledges to continue to stage them (and be a good sport when he's the recipient of them) for the rest of his life. He's the proud five-time winner of Scioto Country Club's 'Big Splash' award for his notorious cannonballs. He enjoys cheering his favorite sports teams to a win with his friends, and appreciates a flavorful bourbon, a refreshing White Claw, and his hometown's famous Beef on Weck.
