About Mark Schnurman

Mark Schnurman’s path to success started in New Jersey, where he was raised in a home that stressed education, hard work, and character. His father was a research scientist for a pharmaceutical company, and his mother was in education. This upbringing gave Mark discipline, intellectual curiosity, and the desire to make a difference.

From early on, Mark became interested in problem-solving and figuring out how organizations work. He was especially drawn to business, leadership, and the mechanics of success. These interests guided him toward pursuing further education at Penn State University, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Labor Studies.

He later attended Ohio State University Moritz College of Law, where he received his Juris Doctor degree. Although he successfully passed two bar exams, he soon realized that a career in law did not align with his aspirations.

This pivotal realization would set him on a new trajectory, leading him to a highly successful career in business, financial services, real estate, and entrepreneurship.

Mark transitioned into the financial services industry and joined Morgan Stanley as a financial consultant. Though new to the field, he quickly distinguished himself through his dedication, work ethic, and natural ability to connect with people. Mark’s performance was outstanding as he finished second out of a class of 135 trainees, earning multiple performance awards along the way.
