After a successful 25-year career in corporate finance, commercial banking and equipment leasing, Marc Bastow turned his attention towards a long-held love: writing and editing.

Today Marc is a Senior Editor at CFRA, editing financial stock reports, publishing a weekly newsletter for CFRA’s clients and managing a base of 51 Industry Surveys published twice per year.

Marc started with Future Link as a mock interviewer, helping students learn about interview skills and strategies, which are a key to the success of the Future Link program. Marc became a seminar Facilitator for two semesters, enjoying each one immensely. “The gratification that comes with helping these incredible students is what led me to want to stay as part of the Future Link team.”

Marc earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Connecticut, along with a Graduate Certificate of Business Management and a Master of Science in Finance from The American University. He resides in Rockville with his wife, Nancy, and lives close to his two children and three grandchildren.
