# Benjamin Quigley > The Only Impossible Journey Is The One You Never Begin, I Can Help You Once You Begin. I am one of those college dropout stories, turned entrepreneur, and not having a clue to what I wanted to startup. I was awarded a full-ride college scholarship baseball to a D1 school UAB in (1995). The choice to leave a scholarship paid 4 year degree education was not received well by my parents, coaches, teammates and pretty much everyone that knew me well said “that's stupid, you're crazy, nobody leaves a free education and the opportunity to continue playing a sport at the next level to enroll into DeVry Institute of Technology.” I did… and was placed into DeVry student housing in the west suburbs of Chicago, IL. I was in need of a part-time job and applied for a mainframe hardware repair technician opening at IBM. To my surprise, I was offered position. I am the age 19 now and while working at IBM, I uncovered a natural talent for designing algorithms and writing SOPs that streamlined parts referbishments country wide, enhanced operational efficiencies, and saved the IBM hundreds of millions in revenue, in cost reduction and processes. More recently, I co-author of the New York Times Best-Selling Books Titled “The Comeback Code”, with Kevin Harrington, “The Original Shark” from Shark Tank.
