        Aaron is a man capable of practically any task when he sets his mind to it. He has drive and determination to learn completely alien things to help in implementing or solving a problem, or get his hands dirty with the systems he's working with. When I worked with Aaron no problem felt too big to tackle, since I knew we'd be able to sit down and deep dive into the work until the job was done. No engine or 3rd party software is safe from Aaron, and he'll assemble  tools and hardware to get what he wants for a project. Aaron is a force of nature and I'm glad to have worked with him.

        Aaron always goes a step above other sound designers with his commitment to educating others in the process while creating a collaborative space for non-experts to feel like their input is valid. His ability to balance multiple projects and create high quality audio for them at the same time is nothing short of inspiring, and his ability to comprehend even the most complex themes as music, sfx, and ambience, has raised my own standards for what makes a good sound designer. Aaron was a willing and vital part of 5 different projects simultaneously during undergrad and was able to deliver thousands of sound assets to all of them at a reliable pace. I couldn't recommend him more highly for any sound designer position.
I'm extremely happy to share that I've been working with Guerrilla and Sony on Horizon Forbidden West. Huge thanks to the audio team and look forward…
