Aaron grew up in Black Mountain, North Carolina, home of sporting greats like Super Bowl champ Brad Johnson, NBA great Brad Dougherty and UNC Basketball Coach Roy Williams.
Throughout his youth, athletics played a huge roll in his life. He came from a family with a deep athletic heritage and was taught early on the importance of sports. Aaron eventually went on to lead his high school athletic program in multiple categories. Attending Charles D. Owen High School, a school rich in sporting tradition, Aaron played football, soccer, basketball and tennis for Owen. In football winning numerous awards including all conference and specialist of the year in '98 and '99.

He graduated in 2005 with a B.S. in Sport Management and has over 3 years of coaching experience both at the youth and high school levels. Aaron has also worked as a coach with the Clemson Soccer Academy as well as various youth clinics around South Carolina.
"As a former collegiate athlete I understand the importance proper exposure plays in getting an athletic scholarship at the college level. The majority of high school and club coaches simply don't have the resources or the time to spend on getting their athletes noticed by college coaches. This is where NSR can make a huge difference. As an NSR scout, I work tirelessly to locate the best athletes in Coastal SC and give them the exposure that only NSR can provide so that they too can realize their dream of playing at the next level."
