A senior from Hastings-on-Hudson, NY,  Mitch Fink found his love for journalism in the sixth grade when he and fellow Tower staffer Logan Schiciano created their own school newspaper, The Purple Panther Press. Fink has been writing for Tower since his freshman year as a sports columnist. As a member of the Tower staff, Fink has been Tower’s Web Content Manager and Sports Lead Editor, before working his way up the ranks to become one of Tower’s Editors-in-Chief. Outside of school, Fink enjoys playing squash and plays for the school’s varsity team. He also loves watching his favorite sports leagues like the MLB, NHL and the NBA. One of Fink’s proudest moments as a journalist was interviewing former NBA commissioner David Stern about a conflict between the NBA and China his junior year.
