        I have worked with Aaron for years while at Dell. He is a very hard worker that shows up ready to go every day. He has a great attention to detail that has helped my in my job on a day to day basis. Whether he was setting appointments for me, finding new opportunities, or coming to me for coaching and advice, Aaron was always open and willing to do whatever it took. I have watched Aaron progress through out his career from entry level support to the current role he has now. It hasn't always been an easy road for him. There were times were politics got in the way and may have kept him from moving as quickly as he wanted or getting jobs that he absolutely deserved. I don't say this to deter any of the readers, but to make sure you are aware this man has seen and overcome adversity. We have a saying at Dell, Ambiguity. Make sure you are ready to handle everything with Ambiguity. Aaron is the model sales rep that has learned not only how to handle it but also overcome it. If you are looking for a great sales rep who knows his business, is dedicated to his job, can overcome a few bumps in the road, and has a high track record of success...this is your guy.

        I have had the pleasure of working with Aaron on several customer engagements to provide an end-to-end solution. What stands out about those opportunties was Aaron's natuaral ability to combine the technical value Dell brings to the table with our business value proposition. Having that information prior to meeting with the customer was crucial and a key factor why the customer choose Dell. Aaron's professionalism and the relationships that he builds with his customer's is the kind of person everyone in business strives to have on their team!
