About Aaron
- I grew up in Colorado.
- After high school, I moved to Wyoming to attend the University of Wyoming—I graduated with a degree in civil engineering.
- I spent some time working in civil engineering, but ultimately decided it wasn’t right for me.
- I made a career change and got a job working at the University of Wyoming in recruitment marketing, admissions, and career counseling.
- After several years working for the university, I got recruited into law enforcement—I wasn’t interested at first, but was convinced I’d be a good fit by the chief who recruited me.
- I started in law enforcement as part of the University of Wyoming Police Department.
- In December 2020, I was appointed as sheriff of Albany County, Wyoming.
