AJ Lewis is the very successful result of a lot of determination and hard work of its founder, Richard Pesot, a builder educated as an architect. Mr. Pesot put himself through Drexel University’s Architecture program in the evenings and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Architecture while maintaining a business and supporting his family. Unknowingly, he had discovered his secret of success – a job well done brings in another and another. Richard’s son Gregory now fills a leadership position at AJ Lewis, but after nearly 40 years, Richard remains an integral part of the AJ Lewis team.
