Sept. 29, 2004 by Emily Leidolf, won first place in the
2005 Indiana EMS Photo Competition. |
In 2001 I was promoted to Network
Administrator at STATCARE (although still continuing in a flight paramedic position on a
part-time basis).
In 2002 I married Robin and gained
an entire family: her daughter Bobbi Jo, son-in-law Scott, and
two beautiful granddaughters, Cassandra and Natalie.
In 2004 I started preparing for possible retirement by starting
John Hultgren Photography. Realizing that it takes a few years
to develop a business, my thoughts were to get the business set
up and operating before I truly needed it. While I don't have an
interest in commercial photography, I do enjoy taking pictures
so my goal is to create an environment for retirement where I
can concentrate on photography and the sale of artistic
photographic prints.
I tested the waters by entering two photos into the Kentucky
State Fair. One was awarded first place, and another honorable
mention.
In 2006 STATCARE was sold
to CJ Systems Aviation Group. I served briefly as director and
then was promoted to Medical Information Coordinator for our
corporate office. In 2007 CJ Systems Aviation was sold to Air
Methods Corporation, where I became Communications Manager for
our Kentucky operation. In 2008 I became a District Business
Manager.
On October 2, 2009 I had a short role
in the movie Secretariat, released October 8, 2010. Most of my
scene was cut, but I can be seen walking from right to left
behind Fred Thompson and Diane Lane about 14 minutes into the
movie.
