Benjamin Laster Founder & College Counselor

Ben began his career within the admissions department at the highly selective Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ. While at Stevens, eventually serving as the Associate Director of Undergraduate Admissions, Ben was able to understand the often complicated inner workings of the college admissions process at a prestigious institution. In 2013 Ben decided to move to the "other side," accepting the position of Director of College Placement at a highly competitive private high school in Northern New Jersey. Ben enjoys nothing more then working with students and families to make the college application process an enjoyable one with successful outcomes. Ben received his undergraduate degrees in Finance and Marketing from Syracuse University and his master's degree in Global Innovation Management from Stevens Institute of Technology. Ben lives in Kinnelon, NJ with his wife Brooke and daughters Madison and Lilly.
