OUR PEOPLE

Randy’s education, a BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration), BS (Bachelor of Science in Distributive Education) and an MBA (Master’s in Business Administration) was early preparation for founding and growing VistaGraphics, Inc., a regional media company. After four-and-a-half years in sales and sales management for an international consumer goods company, Randy took the entrepreneurial leap by purchasing the rights to a local market of a national travel magazine in 1985. Literally a one-man operation working from his garage, Randy launched his first independent guide in 1987, the Virginia Beach Visitors Guide. Under Randy’s leadership, VistaGraphics has grown to more than 30 publications in a 5-state area. His leadership has included a balanced business approach with revenue comprised of approximately 30% lifestyle publishing and event marketing, 40% tourism/destination publishing, and 30% digital media. Away from work, Randy enjoys time with his family; 3 children and two grandchildren on the way. Most fall weekends find him cheering on his beloved JMU Dukes football team. He enjoys a round of golf from time to time but mostly loves being on his tractor at his home in the rural Pungo area of Virginia Beach, always building or working on the next home project.

Paul joined VistaGraphics over 28 years ago and has contributed to every aspect of the company’s daily operations and manages a talented team of sales, circulation, marketing and administrative professionals. With his acquired and extensive knowledge of the travel and hospitality industry combined with his dedication to the product line, Paul has greatly contributed to the overall success and stability that VistaGraphics enjoys. Paul is a graduate of Old Dominion University with a BSBA in Business and a Minor in Marketing.

Bob Finke joined the Coastal Virginia Magazine and VistaGraphics team in 2021.  Prior to working for CoVa, Bob worked for Sinclair Communications in Norfolk as an account executive and an on-air radio talk show host. Bob has more than 30 years of experience in media.  He began his career at WDAM-TV in Hattiesburg, MS. in 1988.  Following a short stint at a TV station in Tupelo, MS., he moved to Hampton Roads in 1992, joining WTKR-TV as a news anchor and reporter.

Hailing from Queens, New York, Bob attended Pratt Institute majoring in Industrial Design and then attended St. John’s University, where he obtained a BS in Marketing.

He has many interests that will suit him well in Coastal Virginia as he is an avid golfer, avid road bike cyclist, extremely avid car enthusiast, and is a somewhat accomplished guitarist. In his free time, Bob is still editing, designing, and ad selling the Porsche Club quarterly magazine, “Horizontally Opposed”.
