        It is with rare exception, outside of parenthood, that many get an opportunity to see someone transform right before their eyes.  I met and hired Aaron nearly 20 years ago.  That young man is a far cry from the seasoned professional whom Aaron is today.  Most, dare I say, all this transformation is due to Aaron himself, the hard work, the willingness to step outside his comfort zone and embrace growth and change.  If you think stepping outside a comfort zone is easy, then you have never done it.  It is comparable to stepping off an unfamiliar cliff side trail, trusting there is only a short step awaiting you.  I see Aaron socially at industry events but I have kept a curios eye on his career, talking with each of his supervisors or managers to see how he is doing.  Always being impressed by what I hear.  Aaron is one of those rare individuals whom I could assign almost any task or objective and know, really know, he would achieve it, understanding he would give it his all.  Don't let this young man's jovial exterior fool you.  Over the years I have learned that Aaron does not take responsibility lightly or with trivia.  You give him an objective, he WILL reach it if not exceed it more times than not.  I look forward to seeing where Aaron's path leads him, I am confident he will see only success.

        I worked with Aaron for a year and a half at Identity Games. He was my immediate supervisor and the person I contacted with any issues / questions with my workload. Aaron is a great personality to have at the office. He is easily approachable and is willing to help solve any problems or explain something without sounding condescending. 

One thing that was nice about working with Aaron is that he is knowledgeable in many more areas of running a business than just sales, so his ideas and inputs with process changes, or making the business more successful / fun overall was really appealing. 

He also is very well-informed with pop culture and the news, which may seem like a silly characteristic to note, but I believe makes him an even better salesman. Staying 'relevant' in a world full of technology and social media is important when continuing to be able to sell to upcoming generations.

Any business would be lucky to have him on their team.
