“Ben Cook is an incredibly dedicated person who spends an enormous amount of time and energy to learn and implement new material. During my time as one of his classmates, I witnessed Ben consistently spent 4+ hours after class ended (5pm) to construct quality projects. Despite a rushed and stressful learning environment, Ben never “broke” and lost his composure like many of his classmates. Even when he was spinning on a bug and frustrated, he never became aggressive or hopeless - Ben was a rock who never quit trying. Ben is also a highly intelligent individual - after doing his due diligence to thoroughly learn a topic he becomes an expert. After graduation I have remained in professional contact with Ben, and he continues to impress me with his hard work and kindness. Ben regularly posts messages in EFA Alumni channels and is excited to help others find fulfilling careers. Ben is a powerful resource to all who know him, and I wholeheartedly believe he is an asset to any company lucky enough to acquire his expertise.”
Jenn Williams (Aikins)

“At Eleven Fifty Academy, we have core values that drive everything that we do and we give core value awards to students who demonstrate those values. One of our core value awards is Influence, which is to instill disciplines that positively impact perceptions, behaviors, decisions, and attitudes. Ben was the class winner of the Influence Core Value award. Here is what his classmates said about him: Ben is a hard worker and seeing the effort he puts into the class impacts us at students. He is very inspirational and is always in such a great mood, which is contagious. Ben is consistently working on the next thing, sharing his knowledge, and engaging everyone in conversation with a “we can do it” attitude. He's positive, he's consistent with his behavior, and fosters a strong sense of self for him and others. He is always looking to grow and creates his own opportunities. Thank you, Ben, for your attitude and positive impact you have had on us.”
Anthony Ocean

“I worked with Ben to build Janie's Garden App at Eleven Fifty Academy in August 2017. Ben exhibited consistent grit, outstanding work ethic, effective communication, excellent problem-solving, and confident and skillful presentation abilities. Ben will be an enormous asset to any team and organization of which he is a part.”
Frank Leonard

“Ben has worked leonard-mcdowell.com for the past 2 summers and has incredible integrity and a terrific work ethic. One of his greatest strengths is his terrific listening skills. Ben is very sincere about making sure he is solving a business problem with the right solution.”
