"Randy's talent and knowledge base make him a crucial addition to our team," says Mike Engel, AIA, DBIA, healthcare director for Carrier Johnson + CULTURE.

Randy will solidify our firm's position as the preeminent healthcare design leader for the region, and globally."

Returning to Southern California from the Midwest, Beckwith's career spans decades beginning with field work as a draftsman while still in high school. A graduate of the University of Illinois at Chicago class of 1995 where he earned a professional Bachelor of Architecture degree, Beckwith's already significant experience allowed him to rise to the position of senior project architect just a few short years later.

Before returning to San Diego to join Carrier Johnson + CULTURE, he worked for 15 years at an integrated architecture, engineering and planning firm in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he worked as a senior project architect and project manager leading teams through complex healthcare projects. One of his career highlights is the award-winning Virtua Replacement Hospital in Voorhees, New Jersey.

"I'm excited to take on this new role with Carrier Johnson + CULTURE," remarks Beckwith. "I'm looking forward to lending my particular proficiencies to new projects and working alongside new colleagues. But even more, I'm looking forward to new challenges. I've been doing this for a long time, but the level of innovation, excellence, and thought leadership here is energizing. I'm sure I have as much to learn as to offer."
