        I wholeheartedly recommend Aaron for work on any important project! Aaron recently partnered with my organization for an extensive research project we needed to tee up some critical decisions. I couldn't have imagined a better final product. He has strong attention to detail, is able to think big and strategically, has experience leading a large organization of his own, and cares about the outcome. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with him in the future.  Natasha Robinson
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        I have had the opportunity to work with Aaron at Ingenuity Prep for more than 4 years. He is both knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. As head of school he always made me feel like part of a community not just a parent in a school. He gives 100%   of himself and is truly motivated and dedicated.
