It was instilled in me at a young age to give back to my community.  Over the years, I have been an active volunteer with a number of organizations.

I joined the Community Living - Grimsby, Lincoln and West Lincoln Board of Directors in June 2007 and have served as Secretary, Vice President and am currently in my third term as President.  I have been on the Foundation Board since it began.  I was with Scouts Canada for 17 years serving as an administrative scouter at the local, district, regional and provincial levels.  I was with Big Sisters Niagara Falls for 5 years as a Big Sister and a member of the board, and also served on the Board of Big Sisters Hamilton for 5 years.  I have been an active member of my church for many years, spent 7 years on staff for an annual youth conference and have been a Sunday School Teacher, Youth Group Leader and Council Member as well.  I am currently a Warden and Chair of the Council.

Aaron spent the first half of his career working as a Senior Director for a major Canadian bank on Bay Street in Toronto focusing on the Mutual Fund, Brokerage, and Wealth Management divisions.  After 17 years in Toronto Aaron moved his family to Niagara and took a role as an executive with a Canadian credit card company where he specialized in process improvement, project management, and strategy.  While working in the financial services industry Aaron always felt a desire to give back and help and held several Board of Director positions at local not-for-profit agencies in the developmental sector. Enjoying giving back,  in 2014 Aaron made the decision to focus his career on the developmental sector and currently works for a Niagara based not for profit agency in charge of Facilities and Projects.  Aaron holds designations in investment planning, project management, and Lean Six Sigma process improvement.  When not working or volunteering  Aaron spends time with his family in Vineland and enjoys hiking, local attractions, travel,  home improvement, and gardening.
