Aaron was born in New York City. At age five, his family moved to Utah where he remained through High School and College. He began performing at an early age. Before he could even talk, Aaron's mother had him matching pitch and singing melodies. He grew up performing in school, church, and the community. He did his first Musical while in middle school. It was a production at the high school and Aaron "caught the bug."
He continued to be involved in Theatre and Choir through High School, but it wasn't until college that he decided to pursue acting as a career. He got his first professional acting job in 1998 and hasn't stopped since. While in college, Aaron met his future wife Gail Bennett. He was instantly smitten, but it wasn't until years later that they dated and were married. A month after the wedding, Aaron and Gail moved to Las Vegas where they performed in Broadway shows on the Las Vegas Strip. It was in Las Vegas where their daughter was born.
After ten years of working in Las Vegas and touring the country, Aaron and his family finally moved back to New York City - the place of his birth. He is currently playing Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys New York.
Some fun facts about Aaron: He owned and rode a Harley-Davidson Motorcycle for 7 years. He has run 3 half marathons even though he hates running. He is currently writing a children's book. He volunteered for two years as a missionary for his church in South Florida. He has traveled to 22 countries and all but 3 of the United States. He has played 13 different animals onstage, for pay. While in college, he worked as a welder and scenic carpenter. Aaron is the oldest of five children and has 17 nieces and nephews.
