From Trey:

I am so fortunate to have had this man as a mentor and friend for the past decade.

Anyone and everyone could benefit from taking in Aaron’s wisdom and perspective in this article in Shoutout Atlanta.

The article is about our project Local Takes, which we produced/directed/shot/edited together, but it’s also about much more: life, happiness, and balance.

Our Vision

Stories shape our lives. The stories we tell about our city and its people can connect us, inspire us, and build our future.

The Local Takes mission is to bring Spartanburg together through art and the unique stories that surround it. As the community shares these stories, we will increase the visibility of artists in Spartanburg locally while also increasing Spartanburg’s visibility to the world.

These conversations can create new relationships, strengthen existing ones, and renew our sense of community.

Our sponsors are making these films possible, but it’s more than a financial exchange.
