My son is a Thales graduate and I couldn`t be prouder of the man he has become. At first, I was concerned by his decision not to go back to college but recalled Dr. Begley saying "don`t worry, he is smart, he will find his way", and he has. He has a great job that he loves and an incredible work ethic. The entire staff of Thales is honest role models that I am so grateful to have had in my child`s life. They don`t just `talk the talk`, THEY WALK THE WALK!
