216 Millennium - A Marquis Who’s Who Magazine FINANCE AND INSURANCE G. Hunt Mitchell began a career in finance after graduating from the University of Maryland Robert H. Smith School of Business in 1979 with a Bachelor of Business Administration. An acquaintance introduced him to the industry and secured work for him as a financial adviser at the DeRand Investment Corp., where he learned and grew under the guidance of his mentor, seasoned finance professional Ron Lehrer. Through observing Mr. Lehrer’s interactions with clients and his effective approach to the business, Mr. Mitchell gained significant knowledge and insight into the industry. Of his many accomplishments, Mr. Mitchell considers becoming a certified financial planner to be one of his proudest. Earning the distinction in 1983, he was among the early participants in the program, and he maintains continuing education and licensing obligations. Prior to entering the financial services sector, Mr. Mitchell played professional baseball in the Baltimore Orioles Minor League System and the Toronto Blue Jays Minor League System. His baseball career provided him with financial stability, which allowed him to focus on building longterm relationships with clients rather than financial gain. His approach has proven successful, and he has retained many of his clients for more than 40 years. Since 2012, Mr. Mitchell has been the managing director at Raymond James & Associates Inc., where he ensures the continued growth and success of the business. While he does not plan to retire soon, he is confident in his colleagues’ abilities to assume a more prominent role within the business when he does decide to step back. Looking ahead, Mr. Mitchell strives to improve his work-life balance but remains dedicated to achieving excellence at Raymond James & Associates. Outside of his career, he hopes to reacquaint himself with hobbies such as golf and spend more time with his family. Millennium Magazine Featured Listee G.
