This Spotlight features Aaron Moore one of our fearless CEO’s.

Aaron is currently working towards obtaining his Advertising Communication and Design degree. He is from Princeton, Minnesota and a hobby of his is simply saving the galaxy while chilling on his couch.

His dream job is to work as an account executive for an ad agency somewhere along the east coast. His favorite television show is The Leftovers and his favorite movie is How to Train your Dragon. When asked what his favorite food is he replied, “Pizza. All Day. Every day.” If Aaron could own an exotic pet he would choose a Hippogriff, hands down.
