From Trinidad and Jamaica to Orlando
Aaron was born in Rockville, Maryland. His parents come from Trinidad and Jamaica. When Aaron was six, his family moved to Orlando. This city became home. He grew up here. He went to school here. He learned young what it feels like when your town gets left out.
Service Before Self
After high school, Aaron joined the United States Army as a cavalry scout. It is one of the hardest jobs in the military. It takes focus. It takes the skill to lead under pressure. He served until 2019. Then a medical issue ended his service. That time shaped who he is. It also set his mission. Serve people. Protect those who need help. Always fight for what's right.
Building What the System Wouldn't
After the military, Aaron put his energy into his community. He is Co-Founder and President of the Framily Support Network (FSN), a 501(c)(3). The group helps people facing homelessness, abuse, and human trafficking. Aaron built its programs from scratch. He also served on three local boards. Those were the Point-In-Time (PIT) Count Steering Committee for Orange, Osceola, and Seminole County. He served on the Homeless Service Network Low-Barrier Shelter Committee. And he served on the Central Florida Commission on Homelessness. He didn't just talk about fixes. He made them happen.
A Progressive Who Puts People First
Aaron also founded Justice & Power Collective (JPC), a 501(c)(4). It funds local groups. It pushes for more community power. He is Treasurer of the Orange County Domestic Violence Task Force. He was Chair of the Florida Rising Central Florida Housing Justice Committee.
Why District 7. Why Now.
Aaron is a proud gay veteran and husband. He lives in Orlando with the man he met in the Army. They plan to start a family. Like every family in District 7, they deserve a county that works for them.
That's what this campaign is about. Not a career move. Not a title. A mission.
Aaron is running for Orange County Commissioner, District 7. He believes District 7 deserves someone who has already put in the work.
