Well, I'm actually from Tucson. I grew up in Tucson, and then I spent about 20 years in the Air Force. Fifteen of those years were in the dental career field, and the other five was as a leadership school instructor. When I retired, I took a job at University of New Mexico Hospitals in Albuquerque, a very large university hospital. I returned to Arizona via a quality director position in Lake Havasu City, extremely hot. If you think Tucson's hot, you haven't been to Havasu. From there, I ended up coming back to Tucson. I worked at Tucson Medical Center and then a short stint at Northwest Medical Center before I accepted a director of quality and risk management position at a federally qualified health center, just like Lorraine did, except I was up in Casa Grande when I did it. Then I was recruited here at Sierra Tucson. I've been here a year, as you heard. Yeah, that's so cool.
