Pastor Aaron was raised in Sacramento, California for much of his life. His formative years involved homeschool, working in the family business(mowing lawns), skateboarding, and going to church. Church was a big part of his social life. He did not have much social interaction outside of church until graduating high school when he started working in the restaurant business. So, for him church was where his friends were. For Aaron church wasn’t a place he received spiritual enrichment, church was only social for him. 

After high school Aaron was soon disenfranchised by church and the relationships he had formed there. His friends moved on with life, went to college, moved away and just living their lives. And because Aaron did not make a decision to follow Jesus, he was empty, hopeless, aimlessly moving through life. 

Wanting to be a Psychologist, Aaron went to Boise State University, majored in Psychology. The reason he wanted to be a Psychologist was not because he wanted to help others necessarily, but because he wanted to figure himself out. It was a fruitless effort. 

The light was turned on for Aaron when he was invited to Calvary Chapel Boise’s college group. The pastor was teaching through the book of John and it was simple, strait to the point teaching. The word of God being taught like that was something Aaron had never experienced before. It was fulfilling and enriching.

In the year 2000 Aaron gave his life to the Lord.
