Jack of all trades and great at them all, Aaron has become a close friend and invaluable contact of mine. His business acumen and professionalism shine through in all his endeavors. One of the sharpest and yet, most humble, legislators I've ever met, he redefines what it means to serve your community. Unbiased and committed to grass-roots contact with his constituents, Aaron puts his own interests behind that of his community. Selfless and creative, he has done absolute justice to the town I grew up in during his time in office. Rest assured, he will succeed with any endeavor.

I took Aaron's Principles of Selling class at the University of Pittsburgh for the Fall 2016 semester. During this time, Aaron was also running his campaign for state government. Despite this, he still came to class prepared and enthusiastic, ready to engage in class discussions and help his students wherever possible. Aaron provided incredible knowledge of the sales industry and personal examples of his success to supplement the course material in a way that no textbook could. His open teaching style encouraged every student in the class to speak up and participate, something which is incredibly rare in college courses. In addition, he used his professional network to bring in guest speakers across various industries to provide a larger scope around sales in general. Finally, I asked Aaron to write me a letter of recommendation for my study abroad application, and he happily obliged. As a result, I am currently studying in Sydney, Australia and interning at a startup in the city. I hope to take another of Aaron's courses before I graduate, and will definitely recommend him to anyone looking to take a sales class.
