I first met Aaron in western North Carolina as his father worked at Western Carolina University while I was building the entrepreneur ecosystem in Asheville.
Aaron met his cofounder Ryan Allis at UNC Chapel Hill and they studied under UNC professor Ted Zoller at the Flagler Business School.
Aaron also had a company called Preation that did web design and marketing.
Aaron has picked up and moved his family to Colorado where he has become a part of the Boulder, Colorado entrepreneur ecosystem that is known for Techstars.
