Don Hild

I was born at a young age in Cleveland, Ohio. Most people can only dream of being from Cleveland, but I really am! I attended the College of Wooster and received a B.A. in both History and Spanish. I attended Vanderbilt University and have an M.A. in Latin American Studies. I worked in long term care for 8 years, prior to working in the health insurance industry for nearly the past 30 years.
