Professional/Education:
Specialties:
History: Jerry's first job following graduation from the University of San Francisco School of Law in 1969 was a faculty position at Fresno State University, where he taught accounting (being by then a CPA) and law. He 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 him to take a full-time legal position the following year. He established his own practice in March of 1975, continuing to teach part-time for several years thereafter. Education has always been what he believes to be the key to a satisfying life. Community Achievements: The years of leadership Gerald Lee Tahajian
has given to his profession and his community have led him into arenas of responsibility
and opportunity far beyond the experience of most of his peers. His unusual
qualities of leadership were recognized long before he launched his career. He was elected
President of the Student Body at Fresno State University. He was also 1st runner-up for
the Theta Chi Fraternity Colley Memorial Award presented to the most outstanding member in
the nation.
A Personal Note from Gerald: 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. To Contact Gerald L.
