        Aaron was a professor of mine at Southern New Hampshire University and one of the top professors I was able to study under.  His attention to my needs and questions was unmatched during my experience with SNHU.  Aaron was very respectful, motivating, and intelligent in the ways in which he taught and presented the course syllabus.  I highly recommend studying under his tutelage if you have the chance.  Thanks Aaron! Raul M.
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        I reported directly to Aaron for about five years while he worked at Kaiser. He is someone that myself and others always looked up to and counted on for answers which he always delivered on. He was always happy to provide guidance on how to take it to the next level with their career in Cyber Security. Aaron could be considered a rarity in Management as he was always willing to get down in the trenches with his teams during incidents and still had strong technical expertise that some may lose once they get into higher ranking positions. 

I knew that Aaron would become a CISO one day and Hoag is a lucky company to now have him.
