About John Kitevski
After graduation from Manhattan College with a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering, I chose to combine my strength with math and numbers with my desire to help people, making a career in financial advising the perfect career to pursue.
I love what I do because of my ability to help provide clients confidence and understanding on a sensitive topic.
Outside of the office you can find me on the golf course, in my nook, where I love to read and learn about the history of the world, or out to dinner with my wife, Jennifer, who I've been happily married to for 29 years.

2Investors should consider many factors before deciding which 529 plan is appropriate. Some of these factors include: the Plan’s investment options and the historical investment performance of these options, the Plan’s flexibility and features, the reputation and expertise of the Plan’s investment manager, Plan contribution limits and the federal and state tax benefits associated with an investment in the Plan. Some states, for example, offer favorable tax treatment and other benefits to their residents only if they invest in the state’s own Qualified Tuition Program. Investors should determine their home state’s tax treatment of 529 plans when considering whether to choose an in-state or out-of-state plan. Investors should consult with their tax or legal advisor before investing in any 529 Plan or contact their state tax division for more information. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC does not provide tax and/or legal advice. Investors should review a Program Disclosure Statement, which contains more information on investment options, risk factors, fees and expenses and possible tax consequences.
