Core convictions.

Raised just outside Detroit, Michigan, as the son of a preacher, Aaron grew up surrounded by ministry.Over time, a deep frustration began to build. He saw a church culture that often prioritized outward appearances and performance over actual, inner transformation. That dissatisfaction sparked a relentless hunger for something deeper—a faith that was real behind closed doors.

In 2003, a profound encounter with the Lord completely shifted his trajectory. Aaron devoted himself entirely to the Word and the local church. He spent his days in study and his nights leading worship, driven by a simple desire to know Christ truly.

In the summer of 2006, that hunger led Aaron from Michigan to Kansas City, Missouri, where he joined the staff at the International House of Prayer. For over three years, he served in the Nightwatch, leading worship and ministering during intense, uninterrupted prayer sets from midnight to 6:00 a.m.

But it was in 2009 that his calling found its proving ground. Aaron began serving with HopeCityKC, an inner-city ministry focused on day-and-night worship. For the next sixteen years, he took the fire of the prayer room directly to the streets—interceding for and ministering to those battling addiction, poverty, and homelessness, as well as taking the gospel into maximum-security prisons.
