“NELSON’s culture is rooted in diversity and inclusion, and that alone attracts, retains, and grows the bold-thinking talent required for lasting success,” says Aaron. “I am eager to share my knowledge and elevate the team, and I look forward to helping every member shine brighter.”

Driven by an avid desire to constantly improve our surroundings, Aaron draws inspiration from clients and peers in the form of a smile or exclamation of approval, indicating that the project is making a positive impact.
