PHILADELPHIA – January 8, 2025 – Good Life Companies (Good Life), a leading RIA firm and partner to independent financial advisors nationwide, announced today that Aaron W. Hollister, AAMS® has joined Fireside Financial Partners in Plainwell, Mich., a firm supported by Good Life. Hollister joins the team from Raymond James.

Hollister holds the Accredited Asset Management Specialist (AAMS®) designation and earned a bachelor’s of Business Administration in Finance from Western Michigan University’s Haworth College of Business.
