There they raised ostriches on an ostrich farm. Afterward, Aaron moved to Colorado where he attended middle school and high school. At Arvada High School, Aaron was the vice president of GSA (Gay Straight Alliance) and it was there he was first introduced to color guard which is now his one true passion.

Aaron marched at Arvada all four years he was in high school and later went on to march Signature with Scot – the co-founder of Anesidora, and later, Opus X. He now works part-time as an Abercrombie and Fitch model.
