If you’ve watched local TV in Jacksonville, you’ve seen him. If you’ve been to a local festival award ceremony, he’s probably hosted it. And if you’ve heard music bumping at a wedding, there’s a good chance it was DJ RandMX behind the turntables. But behind that million-watt smile and easy-going charisma is a creative force with over two decades of media experience, a passion for storytelling, and a deep love for all things JAX.
The Early Days:
Rance’s journey in media started in Dallas, Texas, where his gift for communication and love for performing came to life. He made his on-screen debut as the host of Xtreme Motion, a high-energy action sports and lifestyle series that launched his media career. That early exposure opened doors to projects with The Mark Cuban Show and Gimme the Mic, where Rance refined his skills both behind and in front of the camera.
Building the Brand:
Next stop: Charlotte, North Carolina, where Rance became co-host of News Edge on WCCB. This primetime lifestyle show allowed him to further develop his voice as a storyteller and community connector. Whether covering lifestyle segments or injecting personality into headlines, Rance brought authenticity and edge to every episode.
Jacksonville Love:
In 2014, Rance brought his talents to Jacksonville, Florida — a move that would change everything. He became a founding co-host of River City Live, a daily lifestyle show on WJXT where his personality, creativity, and local love made him an instant standout. Rance didn’t just become a part of Jacksonville’s media scene — he became a part of its heartbeat. From local business spotlights to entertainment interviews and cultural features, Rance has helped shape the show into a vibrant celebration of all things JAX. Along the way, he became a go-to personality for community events, red carpet coverage, and digital storytelling.
The Multi-Hyphenate:
Rance is more than a host. He’s a producer, director, editor, voice actor, podcast host, drone pilot, and DJ. Whether he’s emceeing a fundraiser, voicing a reel, flying drones over the beach, or spinning tracks at a wedding, Rance brings unmatched creativity, energy, and professionalism to everything he touches.
The Heart of It All:
At the core of Rance’s work is connection — with people, with community, with stories that matter. He’s passionate about using media to uplift voices, spotlight local gems, and bring people together. Rance doesn’t just represent Jacksonville on screen — he lives and breathes it.
