Following a fast-tracked education in Palo Alto, he found success in New York at Kemper Fitzpatrick as a senior analyst covering the Airfreight & Surface Transportation sector.

Aaron was raised by his single mom. He is an idealist and romantic to the core. Following an incredible cross-country flight, he spent two years tracking down the woman sitting across the aisle, his soulmate. In a fantastic ceremony steeped in their mutual affinity for nature, they declared their love across the ages. Sadly, they were forced to separate shortly thereafter when she learned her estranged brother was ill.
