Aaron is from McCutchenville, Ohio, and after graduating from Mohawk High School and then going off to Ohio University in Athens, decided to come back to the area to build his business. He has two wonderful children, Lola and Clark, who keep him busy and fill his life with love. As a family, they enjoy going to the pool, hiking in the woods, running, playing games, golfing, and traveling. They are big Cleveland Indians and Browns fans and know that next year is our year (every year)!
Aaron's career began in 2002 when he joined the top ten internship program at Northwestern Mutual*. After much research on the industry Aaron chose Northwestern Mutual because he wanted to be partnered with a company that cares about his clients as much as he does. That, along with the products, solutions, technology, and a focus on planning allow him to help his clients reach their goals each day. Aaron built up a successful practice as an individual planner with his own staff until forming a partnership with John Reineke in 2018 to expand capabilities and better serve clients.
One of his main focuses in growing in this career is continued education in order to better serve our clients. Aaron began his financial education with a bachelor’s in business degree with a Finance major through the Honors Tutorial College at Ohio University. He has continued that education through many courses and exams through the American College, the premier financial services education institution. His work has earned him five of the most distinguished designations and certifications in the industry (CLU®, ChFC®, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Professional, RICP®, WMCP®). In addition to investing in education, Aaron has continued to invest in building a high-caliber team. His partnership with John Reineke and the team of expertise they have built has added valuable knowledge and resources to his planning and servicing capabilities.
