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.”
