He said, &#8220;I enjoy working for a company that values integrity. &nbsp;That&#8217;s important to me. I feel very accomplished knowing that I&#8217;m helping people in my new technical support role. Some of the tech support issues are a challenge but I&#8217;m learning more everyday. Fred was very patient while training me and leaves big shoes to fill. However, he also gave me the tools I need to feel confident and be successful in my new position. Thanks, Fred!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll definitely miss Fred, but we&#8217;re also happy for him and grateful that he shared with Jon all of &nbsp;his &#8220;secrets of the trade.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>By the way, if you are a current &nbsp;Biddle software&nbsp;customer, you can still reach technical support by calling 800-999-0438, extension 127.
