He has also supported local homeless shelter initiatives, providing assistance and leadership in efforts to serve individuals experiencing homelessness.

In addition, Aaron has dedicated time to serving residents in local nursing homes, offering companionship and support to elderly community members, and has volunteered at a Veterans Luncheon to honor those who have served our country.

Beyond direct service, Aaron is passionate about mentorship and developing future leaders. He has spent time with local middle school students, providing mentorship and speaking on the importance of faith, leadership, and education. His commitment to faith-based leadership is further demonstrated through his service as President of Surry's Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) Club, where he has led initiatives that encourage personal growth, character development, and community engagement among his peers. He also leads morning devotionals on the baseball field prior to Sunday games, further demonstrating his dedication to faith and leadership among his teammates.

Aaron also remains actively involved in community events, including assisting with the Special Olympics and supporting the Senior Games, where he helps create inclusive and engaging experiences for participants of all ages.

Across all of his efforts, Aaron exemplifies leadership, compassion, and a genuine commitment to improving the lives of others. His selection to the NACDA Allstate Good Works Team is a testament not only to his individual character, but also to the values of service and community that define Surry Community College.
