What did you have to go through to get to where you are today?

In our first episode of CareerTech Horizon, we take a look at a few Oklahomans’ “origin stories,” including…

  • An HVAC instructor who overcame his own past failures in education, and how he now helps others do the same.
  • A “jack of all trades” who decides to become a cosmetologist, so he can get closer to his daughters.
  • An Air Force veteran who now teaches family and consumer sciences, and how a similar approach can be used from serving one’s country, to serving one’s students.
