Aaron Bowles’s Summary

A interactive designer, commercial artist and advertising specialist with over 15 years experience. In addition to traditional marketing and advertising, I have over 10 years experience in web/interactive design and online marketing. For the past 10 years, I have acted as Principal and Creative Director of Media Makers Design Studio. I love football and basketball, comedies and live music. I currently live in West Virginia with my wife, Malia, and my two sons, Kazden and Kamryn.

Over the past few years I have served as an Assistant Director with BNI in West Virginia. In the past I worked directly with chapters in the Charleston and Huntington areas. Now my focus is to help professionals start new BNI chapters in the West Virginia region. It is a rewarding work. I enjoy helping professionals in my community grow their business. In addition, the relationships I have built over the years is priceless.

I am a Certified Networker through Referral Institute. Jason Hager, franchise owner of Referral Institute West Virginia has been a longtime business partner and friend. The training is exceptional.
