He earned his Bachelor's in Business with an emphasis on Accounting at Cal State San Marcos.
Chapter 02
After college, Aaron joined one of the Big 7 audit firms but quickly realized corporate life wasn't for him. After just three months, he pivoted back to what he loved.
Returning to Integrated Signs, his strategic vision propelled him to President by 2017. In 2022, he took full ownership — solidifying his influence in the signage industry.
