Aaron grew up in Lawton, OK. In his youth, Aaron loved doing anything outdoors: hiking, camping, and building forts to name a few. He also played just about every sport a person can play, including football, soccer, basketball, track, and baseball. Aaron was also very active in his Boy Scouts Troop and church, serving in yearly mission trips/activities. In college, Aaron played soccer for Oklahoma Baptist University while working toward becoming an orthopedic surgeon. During his junior year, Aaron tore a ligament in his ankle and started rehab with a local physical therapist. He loved the process of working hard and improving, and decided to change his pursuit of a Medical Doctorate (MD) to become a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT). Aaron continues to be obsessed with learning and developing his skills as a Physical Therapist in order to better serve his patients. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two daughters, exercising, biohacking, doing home improvement projects, hunting and worshiping with his church at Alamo Community Church.
