In Aaron's Own Words...
A little about myself. I am originally from Southern California. I have a brother, sister, and two nephews. Before coming to Delmarva, I worked as the Operations Assistant for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans and interned for the Modesto Nuts.
I am certifiably insane. I go long stretches without eating or sleeping and spend most of my free time watching sports. Some little known facts about me are: I went to college my freshman year at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado and I have driven across the country by myself non-stop (except for gas) numerous times.
What do you do in the offseason?
Well the answer is...NOTHING. Just kidding. The offseason is one of the busiest times of the year for most of our staff. Some of things I will be doing during this offseason are: storing everything I can inside the stadium for the winter, cutting down all signage in the stadium, turning off all unnecessary water, gas and electricity, winterizing the facility, various painting projects and hopefully overseeing some upgrades to Arthur W. Perdue Stadium.
