Randy Wigginton est l'un des premiers employés de Apple où il a officié comme programmeur.
C'est au Homebrew Computer Club qu'il rencontre Steve Wozniak (qui a comme lui et comme Steve Jobs étudié au lycée Homestead High School à Cupertino en Californie), il devient "employé" de Apple en 1976.
Il accompagne Wozniak lors de la présentation de l'Apple I en décembre 1976 au cours d'une réunion du club.
Il collabore avec Wozniak à la conception matérielle et logicielle de l'Apple II. Il écrira d'ailleurs plusieurs des premiers programmes de cet ordinateur et les routines RWTS (read/write track-sector) du lecteur de disquettes externe 5"1/4 Disk II presenté au salon CES en 1978.
Il quittera Apple en 1981 pour former sa propre entreprise Encore Systems mais il continuera à écrire des programmes pour Apple notamment le fameux MacWrite et le tableur Full Impact.
