Aaron was born and raised in Northeast Philadelphia. I moved to the suburbs when I was 13. This is when I started playing the guitar because all of the sudden I didn't have friends anymore. The guitar helped me get friends in Willow Grove Abington Township. I had some cool instrumental bands in High School where I composed music and played with some really great people. I went to Bucks County Community College because I didn't get into Temple's Jazz program. Bucks turned out to be a supercool place and I met supercool people and I had a supercool time. Ben Schacter told me to go to New York and so I did. I was accepted to New School University's Jazz program. There I studied with New york's freshest Jazz players/teachers and met the most mind-blowing musicians and had the opportunity to create some incredible friendships with the coolest and craziest people I've ever met. I graduated in the year 2000. I've been out of school for a few years.
