Aaron Klein’s Summary

My career has been in marketing, product development, operations and sales roles at three different companies — a wholesale distribution company, a political web consulting firm, and a business operations software company.

I also have the privilege to serve as a member of the Board of Trustees of my local community college district, and the good fortune to be married to my best friend for nearly six years now.
