âI was back in Baker, just killing time,â said Cripe, 28.
He grew up in Baker City, and graduated from Baker High School in 2011.
He asked at nearby hospitals if he could apply for short-term work, but the paperwork proved to be an obstacle.
To fill his time, Cripe went to work for Appliances & More in Baker City.
âIâd like to do something medical, but it might be nice to take a month off,â he remembers thinking.
That job lasted one day.
When the owner, Jay Wilson, learned about Cripeâs medical background, he suggested Cripe call Chris Arvidson of North Powder.
