For Aaron, the main question is how may I serve? At an early age, Aaron gravitated to music as a passion, and later as a profession. As an accomplished musician and entrepreneur in the music media industry, Aaron came to see music as a metaphor for life -- “when it comes from within, it flows”. After years of his own inner journey, Aaron found the wisdom in adversity and turned it into his “superpower” of elevating those around him, bringing clarity and harmony to even the most chaotic circumstances. Today, Aaron’s vision is to help elevate others so they can pursue their passions and live life on their terms.

Aaron’s heart for humanity is expressed in his life and his work. Known as The Visionary’s Visionary, Aaron is the trusted voice and advisor to startup entrepreneurs, helping them bring their vision to life while maneuvering through controlled chaos to profitable growth. As a long-time mentee of the legendary Paul Allen, Aaron is the ultimate cultivator of innovation and coalescer of teams; perpetuating courage and lifelong connections all along the way. When not working one-on-one assisting the best and brightest of entrepreneurs, you will find Aaron facilitating extraordinary retreats and workshops for those seeking the highest degree of health, fulfillment, time, and financial freedom. And, for the coachable, Aaron guarantees results. “Success is a Flow…Achievements, however they arise, are a result of this flow”. Taking the journey with Aaron is learning to maneuver through all the highs and lows of life with grace, ease, and success, allowing achievements to flow.

Aaron’s clients are some of the most talented and extreme players on the planet. They don’t come to him looking for his degrees or credentials because he doesn’t have them. Rather, these business titans look for the results. As a high school dropout, Aaron sought out and learned from some of the most profound and transformative leaders on the planet and today he shares all he learned, integrated, and applied in his own life with other leaders looking for the keys to success, fulfillment, and purposeful living. For Aaron and his clients, those are the only results that truly matter.

With 1 Diamond and 15 gold and platinum records, 7 top 10 songs, and awards too many to mention, Aaron could easily sail off into the sunset. Instead, his heart for humanity and passion to serve others trumps all. Today, Aaron is uniting people through business, music, events, and retreats. He is building business leaders, businesses, and communities of people who see life as a holistic adventure of inner exploration with unlimited outer possibilities. His goal is that each of us live our passion, “realizing that it’s not what we do, it’s how we show up and flow through what we do” Once this is known, all search for purpose ends and one realizes that they are on purpose all the time.
