He started working at NCDC immediately after graduating from the University of Alberta in 2011. Aaron moved to Airdrie when he was 12 years old and spent his youth playing sports, video games and playing in the school band. After graduating from Bert Church High School, he majored in chemistry at the University of Calgary for three years and then moved to Edmonton after being accepted into the U of A Dental program. Dr. Monty Gaur mentored Aaron and helped him decide that dentistry was the path for him and even offered him a position upon graduating. Aaron chose to become a dentist after job shadowing Dr. Gaur and seeing his relationship with his patients and how he was able to help them.
