Aaron brings over 20 years of experience across senior living, assisted living, independent living and memory care. His passion for serving seniors shines through in every environment, but memory care has always held a special place in his heart.

Aaron has a deeply personal connection to memory care, having supported both his parents and in-laws through dementia diagnoses. Experiencing this journey firsthand, he understands the challenges families face. Without the resources to place his own loved ones in a supportive community, Aaron now takes great pride in being part of an environment that provides compassionate care for those living with memory impairment. “It gives me peace knowing I can help keep them safe,” he shares.

Outside of Silverado, Aaron is happily married to his wife, Leslie, since 1998. They have been together since their teenage years and have built a beautiful life together with their three sons, a grandson and their grand dog, Tallulah.
