Aaron Martinez - Program Associate
Aaron is a spirit of wonder, wander, and whimsy manifested. Having spent many lifetimes traveling, experiencing, and saturating himself in the splendors of both the outdoors and inhabited, Aaron brings an avid professionalism and charmingly unorthodox touch to any project or operation he gets his paws on. With a background that spans many hats, from producer to trail worker, professional clown to "Director of Chaos", Aaron's heart beats to the drum of self-development and heroic caffeine consumption.
"Never be afraid to assume the role of a student. There's so much to learn, and you don't know it all."
Under a shroud of darkness, Aaron enjoys hikes, long walks on litter-free beaches, and withering the souls of those who dare oppose his will. He's sarcastic. He's also a published author. He wrote this. Blame him.
