An Academy Graduate with Success at an Early Age Stephen Lynch Bachelor of Science in Applied Information Technology & CCIE “Taking the academy courses was the best decision I ever made. It has defined my career, my future, and my life.” “It motivates me to continue my education and broaden my skill set. Academy students are exactly what companies like ABS Technology Architects are looking for. I hope I can encourage someone else in the same way Cory and Trent have encouraged me.”
