Meet Jerry Tahajian "I believe we have been put on this earth to serve others. Our goal is to find how best we can truly do this as we move on the pathway of life.

To this end, I offer others my services and expertise to help maintain a family's life-long savings, and ensure it is properly delivered into the hands of their designated heirs."
--Jerry Tahajian 

Travel is my hobby. I believe travel teaches one that although many different languages are spoken, many different religions are adhered to and many different foods are eaten, all of us on this earth are essentially alike. We have all of the same dreams, ambitions, fears and frustrations. All of us seek happiness and wish for luck, wealth, long life, health and peace.

My first job following graduation from the University of San Francisco School of Law in 1969 was a faculty position at Fresno State University, where I taught accounting (being by then a CPA) and law. I was one of the first professsors of the BLOCK program, an interdisciplinary 15 unit course for seniors.

However, the lure of the practice of law caused me to take a full-time legal position the following year. I established my own practice in March of 1975, continuing to teach part-time for several years thereafter. Education has always been what I believe to be the key to a satisfying life. Understanding ideas and concepts allows one to understand not only your work, but to understand another's point of view, and actions.
