Testimonials

As a manager, a leader, and as a human being, Aaron is an example to all of us. As a leader of the Vantage organization, Aaron demonstrates a commitment to success and level of competence that is above and beyond anything I've seen in 35 years of business leadership. - Phil Edgell, Executive Leader

Aaron is one of the most effective "creative types" I have ever worked with. If you can come up with a storyline, he can flesh out the script and find the talent (with crazy costumes to boot). And he can do this while juggling 10 other tasks. (while actually juggling) (swords) (that have been lit on fire) (without the aid of a safety net) (but with a fire extinguisher hidden nearby) (he's amazing but not stupid). - Keith Salwoski, Executive Director of Communications at Silverton Casino Las Vegas
