Since his fifth grade, Aaron started earning money, working as an independent contractor for a bookstore chain, after which he started buying event tickets for licensed ticket broker and invested his money in the stock market. As he grew older, he became more experienced and began doing the accounting work for a gravel pit company.
Aaron went to the Richwoods High School, where he excelled in all courses, and was even in some advanced classes, however, he couldn`t graduate early, as the school`s policy didn`t allowed it.
