Amidst a global pursuit of automation, he moves to fill his art with life.

Aaron is an avid basketball player and decorated track athlete outside of the studio, formerly competing as a Division I high jumper at UCLA and later the University of Miami, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in sociology.
