My partner, Justyn Volesko and I have had a vision of how to provide a unique and best-in-classs family office service to ultra-high net worth individuals and their families. This vision was born at Goldman Sachs where we helped to build the Goldman Sachs Family Office, which caters exclusively to the partners of Goldman Sachs, and was brought to life when we created AJ Wealth. The goal was to create a one-of-a-kind wealth management firm focused on providing exceptional, high touch and all-encompassing family office services and complex planning strategies. We spent 11 years defining and refining this service offering, reaching a point where it became clear that in order to bring this service to the next level, we needed to partner with a larger, more established firm that had a similar mindset and larger footprint in the industry. After extensive due diligence, it became clear that Cerity Partners is that partner and we couldn't be happier to have merged with them.

Cerity Partners is a great firm with a large presence and an outstanding reputation. Building the Cerity Partners Family Office allows us to draw from our Goldman Sachs pedigree and AJ Wealth experience to bring to life a multi-family office service offering unlike any other. Together, we are able to further enhance the client experience and provide a family office service that is truly exceptional. In everything we do, we endeavor to have a positive impact on the clients we are fortunate to work with and the industry as a whole and now with our Cerity Partners family we are closer than ever to realizing our ambitions.
