Richmond, VA

Aaron's been in the IT game for over a decade. He's a tech wizard who thrives on solving complex problems and making people's lives easier. Since he hopped on board with BlueModus in 2022, Aaron's been the go-to guy for keeping our tech ship afloat. But when he's not busy fixing our messes, you can bet he's off having some well-deserved fun. He loves fishing by the lake and tearing it up on his jet ski. And on the home front, he's a green-thumbed gardener, a DIY enthusiast who loves fixing up old stuff, and a dedicated dad to his two dachshunds who get spoiled rotten. Plus, he's a big-time RC car fanatic. Aaron's the guy who makes IT look cool.

“At BlueModus, I've found a team that truly values collaboration, fosters personal growth, and empowers individuals to make a real impact. It's more than a job; it's a place where your contributions matter, and you're part of a supportive, inspiring family.” – Aaron
