Mitch has gone through rigorous academia dating back to his days at Gilman preparatory school in Baltimore, MD to prepare him for his work as a Certified Financial Planner. Upon graduation from Gilman, a top rated college preparatory school in Maryland, he moved onto another top rated school called Colgate University. At Colgate he received a degree in Economics and advanced on to graduate school earning an MBA in Marketing and Finance from the prestigous Columbia University. Before earning his certification as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner, he was an assistant professor and worked in marketing research. The former experience accounts for his ability to explain complicated financial concepts in easy-to-understand terms, and the latter gave him valuable insight into the financial needs of families and the complexities of computer analysis.
