Comedy

Aaron’s largest passion: comedy. Having grown up with Saturday Night Live, In Living Color, Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, and Conan O’Brien (among others), Aaron has been goofing around and telling jokes from as long as he can remember. Since then, he’s written humor columns, articles, and screenplays. He’s studied improv and performed at the Upright Citizens’ Brigade. He’s performed stand-up. Really, he’s just a goofy guy.
