He spent 10 professionally formative years with the American Friends Service Committee. Starting as the kid in IT who did whatever no one else wanted, he was their Web Director responsible for all digital marketing by the time he left. Since then he has been a full-stack Drupal developer, a Salesforce consultants, developer, and technical architect. He currently leads a small but mighty Salesforce team for Ava Community Energy. Along the way he became a Salesforce MVP.
That range of experience left him able to participate in projects in all the stages from initial audience and strategy discussions, through information design, and implementation. He has a passion for helping nonprofits get the most of out their online communications to build powerful relationships with supporters, donors, service recipients, and whatever else they need to do to make the world a little better.
Aaron lives with his wife Beth and their two greyhounds, Petey and Faith, in Aiken, South Carolina. When not busy spinning code for good he spins yarn for knitting.
This blog is a mix of thoughts about nonprofits, work, Salesforce, software development, spinning, volunteering, and whatever else he thinks others might want to read about. It is mainly a source of practice to keep him in the habit of writing on a regular basis. Except with explicitly noted, all opinions are his own.
You can also find him on GitHub, LinkedIn, Drupal.org, and in the Trailblazer Community.
