Biography

Florida State University - Music

Financial Data Analyst at Peerfit

Benjamin
Krock
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
From academic music theory to finance, research drives me and analysis is my fuel. Given the diversity of my education (both formal and otherwise), I approach problem-solving with an ever-evolving toolbox of methods and philosophies. I love taking complex ideas and breaking them down into bite-size portions.

As such, I was required to maintain an open-door office policy with an average of 10 hours of tutoring per week.
