As the owner of Rendezvous River Sports and Jackson Hole Kayak School, Aaron has introduced thousands of people to the sport of kayaking since he began instructing in '93. In '96 he began the non- profit Jackson Hole Kayak Club, which provides an inexpensive means for kids to get into paddling. The club introduces young people to the fun of running wild rivers and competitive paddling. As a board member of the Snake River Fund, Aaron has helped work with Bridger- Teton National Forest in a unique alliance to keep the Snake user fee area free. SRF is now in its fifth year of existence and is succeeding in bringing together a diverse group of river users including commercial outfitters, rafters, fisherman and paddlers. All these groups have generously contributed to help maintain the facilities on the Snake and preserve its outstanding recreational values. As a kayaker, Aaron's interest is primarily in expeditionary kayaking with numerous exploratory descents in Wyoming, Chile and most recently Russia. He also enjoys a diversity of competitive disciplines including slalom, Wildwater, and freestyle.
