Description

Armen Jesralyan was born and raised in New Jersey, carrying with him a deep personal connection to Armenian history—his grandfather, Peter, was a survivor of the Armenian Genocide of 1915 and immigrated to the United States with his family in search of a better future.

Grounded in that legacy, Armen grew up closely tied to his Armenian roots. Over the years, he has been actively involved in numerous Armenian organizations across both New Jersey and Los Angeles. Most notably, he has served as a deacon in the Armenian Apostolic Church, offering his time and voice in spiritual service to his community.

Professionally, Armen has built a longstanding career in Financial Services. More recently, he’s embarked on a new path as a professional actor—bringing stories to life on screen, while still honoring the one his family lived.

His journey is one of tradition and transformation, balancing reverence for the past with bold steps toward the future.
