Aaron’s love of storytelling began with his grandfather. He’d draw with young Aaron for hours. Every picture was a tale of dragons, and spaceships and heroes and villains and turtles of the ninja variety. In his teens, Aaron found the works of Mr. Frank Miller and Todd McFarlane, making his own comics, trying (and failing) to copy their twisted genius. In his late teens, Aaron followed his mom to an acting class and fell in love with that form of storytelling. As an actor, he’s been lucky enough to work on Battlestar Galactica, Stargate and Fringe, to name a few.
In 2007, Aaron went to Vancouver Film School for writing, and since has developed and produced screenplays and pilots with Writ Large, Campfire, 3Arts, Ravenwest, Clone Wolf, Keystone Pictures, and Muse Entertainment. Since the beginning of the pandemic, he’s dedicated himself to prose, influenced by greats like Martha Wells, Hugh Howie, Anne Leckie, Joe Abercrombie, George RR Martin, and Dan Simmons.
When he’s not writing, you can find him: playing basketball with his son; snowboarding down a mountain at breakneck speeds (also with his son); lounging on a beach with a cocktail; consumed by fantasy football; throwing his X-Box controller in anger when Madden has the audacity to make Nuk Hopkins drop a dime from Kyler over the middle; feeling guilty for eating an entire pint of Ben & Jerry’s in under 13 minutes; drinking wine with friends and family; lovingly roasting each other while we play Settlers of Catan; listening to mid-to-late-90’s hip-hop; and in bed, snuggled up with a good book.
