        Aaron has played a critical role in the growth of my two organizations, Ride Amigos and Beautify Earth. Whether building our financial model, architecting our accounting, helping us prep during M&A talks, or providing strategic advise, Aaron was able to switch hats and make it happen. He is a natural problem solver and strategic mind who will add value to any organization he works with.
