But as you're looking at all the things that you've accomplished over the course of your career, what would you say are some of the decisions that changed the direction of your career over time?

Probably four big turning points.

I would say the first one was the decision to go back to school and do the MS residency.

I graduated from the University of Minnesota with a BS in pharmacy in 1977.

And jobs were really tight back then.

You kind of took whatever you could get.

And I couldn't find a full-time job.

So can you think about the funniest story you can remember and share that over your career?
