Getting the Edge on Aaron
Something most people don’t know about me:
I started racing motocross as a young adult and it took me two knee surgeries, one broken leg and two broken collar bones before I won my first, 1st place trophy.
Worst job:
I would sit in the Pineview Marina parking booth charging boaters for parking. I was off of work by 2:00 p.m., so I spent many a summer afternoon cruising the beaches on big boats and working on my tan.
What makes this qualify as my worst job? In my shorts and sandals and big rubber gloves I had to clean the outhouses every week. Yuck…
First job:
I started working at Rogers Eggs when I was 12 years old, every day after school and full time in the summer. My friends didn’t mind because I had four dirt bikes by the time I was 16. (Since then, the only time that I’ve ever been out of work was the three weeks before starting with EdgeLink.)
Favorite quote:
“Just do it”
Favorite thing to do outside of work:
Right now, it’s men’s softball on Thursday nights and a co-ed team with my wife on Fridays.
Pets:
Two horses and two dogs.
Embarrassing story about yourself:
I had just signed up one of my first clients and as we were taking them to lunch, I jumped into one of those big circle doors with the Managing Partner of Grant Thornton and had to shuttle walk through it with him.
Who inspires you:
The explorers that settled our country inspire me. My wife inspires me. The next generation of high school kids inspires me, with so many of them dedicated to college preparation and taking responsibility for their future very seriously.
Favorite food:
Steak and beans.
Favorite hobbies:
Taking my wife anywhere. Sports (especially the NBA finals) and all types of outdoor recreation; horse packing into the mountains, camping, fly fishing, and cheering for my kids during their soccer, cross country, theatre and sporting events (to my wife’s embarrassment).
