An Intern Turned Senior Vice President

Matthew Bosley ’06 started his time at Maryland Smith as a finance major and ended up graduating with a degree in marketing. It was through both of these degree areas that Matthew was able to build the foundation to be the successful financial advisor that he is today.

Growing up in Baltimore County, Matthew always knew he wanted to attend the University of Maryland. Once on campus, he quickly became involved in various organizations, including joining a fraternity, completing programs with QUEST and taking a job at The Diamondback. In addition to his education from Smith, Matthew credits a lot of his professional success to this job at The Diamondback.
