        I've never met a harder working, more dedicated person than Aaron - and yes, I know I'm supposed to say that about myself. However, it's the truth; Aaron strives for perfection on his projects, and maintains a balance of staying supportive yet being firm when he needs to be. He's a leader who leads from the front.
