He/Him

Aaron grew up in Portland, just down the road from EVO. He started climbing in 2017, at age 14, and was instantly hooked. Five years later,  Aaron remains obsessed with climbing–indoors and outside. He began competing in the USAC Youth Series early on, and has competed at the Regional, Divisional, and National levels. Now in his final year as a youth competitor, Aaron is psyched to coach and give back what he can to the sport. Aaron says that “Coaching and setting help me give other young climbers opportunities to grow their love for the sport. It’s amazing to watch them achieve their climbing goals, which then translate to life outside of the gym.” You might also run into Aaron at various thrift stores around Maine, enjoying one of his other favorite activities: hunting for good vintage. As the only extrovert in his family, Aaron enjoys meeting new people, giving out beta, cheering fellow climbers up the wall, and discussing your current project!
