A LOOK AT OUR STUDENTS
DAVID BUCKO
Senior FMA student
David Bucko holds
triple citizenship in
the United States,
Hungary, and Serbia,
and credits much of his success to
his arrival in the U.S. at the age of 12.
David’s move from Hungary instilled in
him a deep sense of appreciation for the
opportunities he has been able to pursue
here in the U.S. “I’m so appreciative of my
experiences; I grew up in a country where
opportunity is often hard to find.” Always
with an eye on his future, David completed
both his Life & Health Agent License
and his Series 6 while still in college and
landed a sophomore internship with
Merrill Lynch.
David’s advice to younger members?
“Figure out as quickly as possible what you
want to do and build your resume around
that. If you have training or experience
in a certain field, you are far more likely
to be selected than someone who is just
‘interested’ in that field.” David will join
Regions Securities in Charlotte as a Debt
Capital Markets Financial Analyst.
