Aaron plays at college party
Aaron grew up in the Detroit area and has also pushed himself to the top of everything from his numerous sports award, music awards and scholarships, to his academic honors he drove his parents absolutely insane as he grew up a super busy body. After graduating high school as valedictorian, Aaron went to the prestigious Oberlin College outside of Cleveland where he studied Jazz Performance and received his Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science. While finishing his undergrad, Aaron worked with the college doing web design and programming, and tutored other computer science and math students.

Years later he invested countless dollars and hours into Internet Marketing (SEO/SEM, social media, video marketing, blogging, etc.) and learned how to maximize revenue via the Internet. During this span he obtained a Master of Science degree in Internet Marketing at Full Sail University, the only program of its kind in the country.

Aaron has been considered by many as a leader and true giver that loves to help people out. He actually spent several years teaching bilingual computer classes (English and Spanish), GED prep classes both in English and in Spanish, ESL classes, and served as Director of Adult Education in an impoverished neighborhood in southwest Detroit.
Aaron says, “hey, I’m not JUST about work, work, work. Of course, my wife says differently…lol…but I do like to have fun.” He LOVES to travel and spent six weeks in Costa Rica (during which time he became fluent in Spanish), traveled to Puerto Rico, U.K., canada, the bahamas, and visited Poland, the native land of his wife. When not working or traveling, Aaron loves to listen to and play music (jazz/funk/latin trumpet) and dance. He actually met his wife, Anna, on the dance floor asking her to dance a salsa (he says, “yeah…but neither of us had any clue what we were doing then”). Since then, they have gone on to compete and win salsa dance competitions.

Ok, guys, now that you’ve had a chance to hear how someone else described me, let me tell you what this blog is about. I consider myself one of those rare breeds: a geek that “gets” marketing and business. As a result, this blog is dedicated towards bringing the two together and providing me a platform to give back and educate my subscribers (and of course learn from them too). Now, if you REALLY want to get to know me then pick up the phone or shoot me an e-mail and get to know me better. Please, don’t call me if you’re just gonna try to pitch me something and I won’t do that to you…fair?. Please DO call if you’re genuinely interested in building a relationship and investigating how we can help one another. I look forward to exploring whether or not we can mesh and work together.
Chao,
