        Aaron is a hard worker and is always seeking to have people do their best. When he was my lead at Razor Edge, he was so up beat about the job and what everyone was working on. He would have people show the levels that they were working on and then provide critiques in a positive way to improve the level and make it better. Aaron was would make sure that the level of quality that was expected of the levels was met and would help see the completion of a level through to the end.
