Description

Hosted by Lance Chase, this episode of Focus Hawaii features Dr. Randy Day, a BYU–Hawaii biology professor, softball coach, and newly appointed chair of the Math–Science–Technology Division. Randy shares his background growing up in Arizona, serving an LDS mission in France and Belgium, and pursuing advanced degrees in marine science and physiology. He talks about his unexpected journey into coaching women’s softball—leading the team to a district championship—and explains why stepping into administration required him to set coaching aside. The conversation also covers his sports‑medicine research on ammonia buildup during exercise, which he presented at an international conference in the Netherlands, and his recent travels through Europe, including attending a rare Van Gogh retrospective and experiencing the excitement of the 1990 World Cup in Italy. Randy reflects on art, culture, travel, teaching, and the broadening perspective gained from time abroad as he prepares to take on new responsibilities at the university.
