Aaron brings a disciplined management approach to Luxury Frontiers from his experience in military aviation operations and hospitality administration. He was formerly a Blackhawk pilot and served as a U.S. Army officer leading aviation operations on 3 continents. He translated this leadership acumen to hospitality administration through his role as co-General Manager of Abu Camp in Botswana.

Aaron is versed in both operating and consulting on luxury hospitality products, having consulted Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti and various high-profile asset owners/developers of renowned adventure hospitality properties.

He earned an MBA concentrated in Tourism Management from the IE Business School and a Bachelor’s degree in International Relations from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Aaron is also a certified Project Management Professional (PMP).

A wanderer at heart, Aaron is most content when immersed in different places around the world and being swept up by new cultures and surroundings.
