Aaron is a 46-year-old teacher at Waverly High School in Lansing. Growing up in Midland, he enjoyed being active in recreational soccer and basketball but had no formal endurance sports experience. He was fortunate to marry into a family of endurance athletes and found himself riding the DALMAC, running 5ks & entering a triathlon. After a few years of relative inactivity, he and his friend Cam decided to train for the Lansing Legislator triathlon. This led to friendly rivalries with both Cam & his brother-in-law Sam which pushed him to get serious about training & resulted in increasingly better results. Eventually, Aaron fully embraced the triathlete identity and lifestyle. In his free time, Aaron enjoys spending time with his family as well as singing & playing guitar in the rock & roll band Flatfoot.

2024 GOALS

My goals for this year are to balance family & triathlon, be a great representative of our team & sponsors and help put on fantastic kids' triathlons in Lansing. I enjoy meeting new people through the sport and hope to continue that this year.  This season is geared towards having my best half-distance race at 70.3 Michigan in September.
