Favorite Quote: "Here's to the Crazy Ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignorethem. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world - are the ones who DO!"

A Note from Will: This past summer I had the opportunity to Work for Fitzgerald + Co (Fitzco) as a rotational intern. Fitzco is a full service advertising agency with contracts with many fortune 500 companies, based out of Atlanta. Over the course of my internship I got to work in departments such as: account management, media, production, brand planning, and creative. I learned a whole lot about the world of advertising. In the Bakers program I hope to make valuable connections with people in business; and develop a broader knowledge base of the "out of classroom" business world.
