In 2006, Aaron was the founder and executive director of the
Cleveland City Stars, a professional
soccer team based in
Cleveland, Ohio. After a twenty-year soccer career as a player, coach, and executive, Aaron now serves as the lead pastor of Fellowship City Church, a growing multisite church in Cleveland, Ohio. Aaron is a sought-after speaker and consultant on the subject of leadership and has presented to several
Fortune 500 companies. He also continues to mentor dozens of professional athletes around the world. Aaron published his first book,
To Who: A Competition for Glory, in conjunction with the
2010 FIFA World Cup in
South Africa.
To Who has sold over one hundred thousand copies to date and has been published on three continents. In 2016, Aaron released his second book,
Outrageous: Awake to the Unexpected Adventures of Everyday Faith, which highlights Aaron's belief that we all have an opportunity to wake up to a life far more exciting than we imagine. In his words, "He would much rather spend his time and energy traveling to the world’s most remote, underserved areas with a soccer ball than lead a safe life without purpose." In his latest book,
Don’t Miss Your Life: The Secret to Significance, Aaron shares his personal discovery of the secret to significance and invites you to live the life God created for you—a life pursuing significance rather than success. == Personal life ==
