Take a look at "he found himself launching NIH’s first director-written blog,"

Since the blog was written by him, how can he have to "find" ? Because no directors (his predecessors) have ever written their blogs before him?




Context:

Jeremy Berg has a knack for making his life
complicated. Soon after he took the helm
of the U.S. National Institutes of Health’s
(NIH’s) basic science institute in 2003, Berg
questioned why the winners of a presti-
gious new award for creative research were
all well-known male scientists. So NIH
asked him to run the program. When sci-
entists devoured data he shared on how his
institute awards grants, he found himself
launching NIH’s fi rst director-written blog
.
Last December, as a member of a high-level
advisory board, he cast the only vote against
creating a new NIH institute to bolster drug
development. Berg’s concern: Forming the
new institute would likely mean dissolving
another NIH center that’s treasured by bio-
medical researchers. It provides resources
like large instruments and animal models.

@oristarA,
This means,

not something he would have undertaken on his own, he was pushed into it, circumstances forced him to do it.

When the hired man quit unexpectedly, I found myself doing a lot of chores that I hadn't done for a long time.
