Gumption Aaron
Husband. Father. Athlete. Adventurer. Educator.
Aaron is one of the most accomplished and well rounded individuals we know. From coastlines to forests, from mountains to snowfields, Aaron lives for adventure and has the scars to prove it! All his other scars come from competing for the Sydney West Magpies in Australia’s National Water Polo League, and stepping on legos strewn across his hallway. Whether it’s the local park run or a bucket-list trek into the Sierra, he’s a perfect example of what adventuring with grit and gumption is all about.
