Our driving purpose
Voyageur began in 2015 by Aaron with the mission to bring true, comprehensive retirement planning services to individuals and families. Aaron's grandparents had been very responsible people their entire lives. They worked hard and sought professional advise and thought they had a good plan for themselves and their family. They did, in 1986. Unfortunately, that plan failed them. When his grandfather passed, 30 years later, much of what was in that plan was out of date, lacked professional coordination and simply didn't address the family needs in a vastly changed world. Aaron, witnessing these issues and dealing with them firsthand, then and there made it his mission to provide families a service that would fit the changing world of retirement planning. He began meeting with folks in their homes, in restaurants and local libraries to meet their planning needs. In 2017, the first office was opened and today the company has grown into several locations through Ohio and Michigan, with client's scattered across the entire country.
The original mission is still what drives the firm, helping families develop and implement true, comprehensive retirement plans, based on education and meeting their individual needs in a coordinate effort...in short, a true plan. It all starts with getting to know folks personally, understanding what is important to them and then taking the time to educate them on their planning options so that sound decisions can be made and a true retirement plan is established to help individuals and families throughout their retirement journey.
Aaron J. Maassel, Founder and President
Aaron Maassel takes pride and loves helping families plan for their future. Hard work and service has always been at the forefront of his professional career. Growing up in rural northwest Ohio, summers were spent working on the family farm and helping neighbors bail straw and hay in the hot July sun. At Ohio State, Aaron worked throughout his college career as a Page in the Ohio House of Representatives. Upon graduation, he was hired by a real estate development and angel investment company in Scottsdale, Arizona where Aaron saw firsthand the day to day operations of a successful "family office" and how critical such planning is to high net worth individuals. In 2001, Aaron started law school and throughout his tenure at Case Western Reserve he clerked for one of Ohio's premier labor and employment firms learning the art of negations and business law. After law school, Aaron worked for several years with a real estate firm in Denver, Colorado before returning to Ohio and opening his private law practice and eventually starting Voyageur.
Aaron specializes in retirement planning and working with clients pre-and post-retirement who desire to have a true comprehensive plan that covers all of the necessary aspects of retirement planning specific to their individual wants and needs. Aaron and his team at Voyageur Advisory Group pride themselves on building and maintaining long-lasting relationships with their clients and families. In addition to guiding his own clients, Aaron works as a retirement educator through the National Association of Certified Financial Fiduciaries, a program that provides education and training to families and individuals looking to learn more about sound retirement strategies.
