Growing up in Indianapolis, Indiana, Aaron    showed an interest in making movies at a very young age.  At age 10 he acquired his grandfathers digital video camera and shot his first short Cosmic Coffee which was recognized at the Indianapolis Children’s film festival.  

 

His passion for telling stories continued into high school, where he made Vietnam war films in the woods with his friends and claymation adaptations of The Great Gatsby featuring monkeys.

 

Aaron attended Emerson College in Boston, earning a B.A. in film.  While at Emerson, he directed, wrote, and produced the zombie love story Love After Life which was the only film to receive a standing ovation halfway through the screening.  

​

Upon graduation, Aaron moved to Los Angeles where he started as a visual effects artist for film and televison.  He soon worked his way up to Visual Effects Supervisor, landing a dream job on the hit zombie show The Walking Dead.

Aaron has directed the pilot for the nerd news show Geek Out as well as the popular web series BLITZED, for which he was twice nominated for an IAWTV award in the category of “Best Director”.  He has also directed several shorts, like GOOBYE! Based on the graphic novel by Thomas Ott.
