Originally from the Boulder/Denver Colorado area, Aaron attended college at The University of Colorado at Boulder, (CU) where he studied art art and more art. However, he needed real city life and moved to San Francisco where he attended the prestigious San Francisco Art Institute. There, he focused on painting, illustration and digital media.
