Aaron was born in Orange California where he graduated from high school.  He joined the United States Air Force in 2008 where he served as a Security Forces airman while stationed in Italy, England, and North Dakota.  Aaron was deployed to Camp Phoenix in Kabul Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom as a member of the provost marshal’s office.  While enlisted, Aaron earned his Associates Degree in Criminal Justice.  After leaving the Air Force, Aaron became a police officer for the South Gate Police Department located in Southeast Los Angeles County.  Aaron worked as a patrol officer and became a Drug Recognition expert.  He eventually became a detective where he investigated sex crimes and child abuse.  Aaron was promoted to the rank of sergeant where he worked as a patrol supervisor and the supervisor in charge of the traffic bureau.  Aaron met his wife while living in California, and together, they made the decision to move to Boerne Texas where they are closer to family and hope to be in the best environment possible to raise their own family.  Aaron likes to be outdoors and takes the opportunity to go off-roading and camping as often as possible.

My Why:

I have always wanted to be a police officer, and my goal was always to serve in the Air Force, achieve an associates degree while doing so, and then get out and become a cop.  Working in southeast Los Angeles gave me a front row seat to chaos like I had never seen.  Although I had a great time working in such a busy area, I truly found my calling as a sex crimes and child abuse detective working for the most vulnerable victims and doing everything I could for them, knowing that the outcome of any case was crucial to how the rest of their lives would go, and knowing that there are so many people, friends and family, who are affected by such horrific acts.  Moving to Texas and a community that shares in our values was something that my wife and I knew was necessary for our family; however, I have not lost my drive to help those who are most vulnerable and the family members and friends who are directly affected.
