Testimonial: Jeremy Patterson, Networking
It's not that I'm super-smart, I just work really hard. There were many nights were I was up until 3 a.m. working on programming code — C++ and Java. I really needed to work at it. But, because of all our hard work, my wife and I purchased our first home last April and now our kids will never have to worry about moving again.
