Aaron is the real deal. He's a ridiculously awesome blend of talent, genius, fun and innovation. It is not possible for me to recommend Aaron enough. If you want someone who can make the impossible happen, he's your homeboy.

Gary Brown

Aaron is a great guy - not only one of the smartest guys in the room but also one of the most creative. He is easy going, charismatic and well rounded. Aaron has been an important asset at EVB as he transformed the Technical/Development group and never once did I hear a complaint from a client (internal or external) about the departments work. He built his department with an amazing group of people all of which I grew to respect and looked forward to working with whenever finance and tech crossed paths. He comes highly recommended if you are lucky enough to have his attention.
