        I worked with Aaron at Pop Media Group. He came into an extremely fast paced work environment and quickly figured out the needs of his group. He reorganized the Media Drive which was in complete diasarray. He was one of the hardest working guys I have ever seen in the business and came with a vast amount of knowledge and experience to guide his team. He worked well with other groups, providing key creative and strategy on how to best accomplish there goals. His attitude remained calm and cool in the face of multiple projects. Aaron makes the work environment professional and more enjoyable and always comes in with a great attitude.

        While I only had the pleasure of working with Aaron for a short period of time, he left quite an impression on my fellow co-workers and I at Harpo. As a newly minted producer, he took me under his wing and guided me through a rather treacherous introduction with such humor and insightfulness, even though he, himself, was a new hire as well! I always felt comfortable asking a bazillion questions, and his knowledge of the job (and life itself) always made me feel more at ease. He fights for what he believes in, never backing down, but is always open to new ideas, as long as it helps benefit the cause.  He is a leader and a mentor, and I can't recommend him enough!
