What was your path to get where you are today?

"One of the guys I met through the National Guard was an X-ray tech. He always talked about what a great job it was and how he never worried if he was going to be out of work. I always knew I wanted to help people, but hadn't thought much about working in health care. So, I looked into it. I found an X-ray tech program and dove right in."
