About

More affectionately known as AA to my friends and family (it stands for Adorable Aaron, Annoying Aaron, etc…), I currently work at Concordia University Chicago as the Manager of Web Services. While design and development tasks are major parts of my job, I enjoy working with eager students in the department.

I am a graduate of Concordia University Chicago with a major in K-12 Music Education. Following graduation, I spent a year and a half at the Arlington Heights Memorial Library where I was the lead web and applications developer. Returning to alma mater in 2006,  I led an online campaign to rebrand the university to a new identity.

Much of my childhood was spent in Knoxville, Tennessee where I attended KarnsHigh School. It was an internship, part of a senior project, that lead to my interest in web development. Music has always been a passion, both performing and experiencing, as has the culinary arts. Food Network is one of his vices.

I’d love to write more about myself, but instead I’ll just let Web 2.0 do all the explaining:
