I am a Finance student at The Robert H. Smith School of Business at The University of Maryland and was lucky enough to be able to take Mr. Rinaldi’s class in Futures, Options, and Derivatives. He was one few teachers that I have had that was able to bring in real world experience from his senior consultant position at Quantum Financial Advisors. He is extremely personable, easy to get along with, and even works throughout the whole semester to find his students jobs. I even had the pleasure of attending the Barron’s Art of Investing Conference, an event that students normally aren’t even invited to, because of Mr. Rinaldi. Mr. Rinaldi has continued to help me advance my passion for finance by offering me an internship position at Quantum Financial Advisors. I continue to see Mr. Rinaldi’s dedication, hard work ethic, and passion for what he does every time I come into work.

I took Mr. Rinaldi's Futures and Options course during my senior year of college at the University of Maryland Smith School of Business, after which he offered me an internship. this experience has proven invaluable as he has given me the opportunity to trade Quantum Financial Advisors' funds at my own discretion, something almost no one my age has the chance to do.

I am an engineering student at the Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland. I wanted to learn about investing and money management. I received the opportunity to intern at QFA, and it was a great experience. What I learned far surpassed what I thought I would learn. The employees are very welcoming. I really enjoyed my experience, and am considering to switch my major to Finance.
