After high school Randy would join the retail sector of the workforce, starting a small business selling movies. Before you could buy on Amazon, steam on Netflx, rent through the mail with Redbox, or in person from brick and mortar businesses like BlockBuster, Hollywood Video, or VideoTime, Randy Baker would deliver movies to the homes of many Akron residents. With his clientele and business booming on the weekends, his delivering of movies would turn into the picking up of drugs.
