Aaron grew up in northeastern Ohio having spent several of his formative childhood years in southwestern Kentucky. He earned his BFA in Musical Theater at Otterbein University and moved to New York City in December of 1997. Not long afterwards, he landed his first big job understudying both the Beast and Gaston on the National Tour of Disney's Beauty & the Beast (his lips are sealed about the magic of the final transformation scene). Two years later, he made his Broadway debut in the Original Cast of multiple Tony Award-winning Thoroughly Modern Millie.  Other Broadway credits include The Bridges of Madison County (Original Cast), Curtains, Jekyll & Hyde and Young Frankenstein.  

 

Aaron will soon open his sixth Broadway show, The Visit, starring two-time Tony Winner, the inimitable Chita Rivera.  He has done several national tours including Sweet Charity (opposite Molly Ringwald) and the recent pre-Broadway tour of Jekyll & Hyde. He has appeared at more regional theaters than you can shake a stick at.  Most recently, he starred as Wallace Porter in The Circus in Winter, a brand new musical at the Goodspeed Opera House in Connecticut.  Additional regional credits include Oklahoma!, Carousel, Next to Normal, 1776, Camelot and many others.

 

In addition to his theatrical work, Aaron has made several television appearances including A Gifted Man, Kings, All My Children, Guiding Light and more. In his spare time, he enjoys cooking, Mexican food, movies, intellectual discourse, animals of all stripes, low brass, and alternating between fiction and nonfiction reading material.  Aaron is a proud member of Actor's Equity Association and also moonlights as an in-home Tech Support Professional.
