From his website:

Aaron grew up with a fascination about the weather. As a young boy he would climb onto his roof to try and touch the clouds when a storm rolled in and get a good look at the skyline. Clearly he didn’t have a fear of lightning at the time (being the tallest point is never a good idea). He would make sure he caught the latest forecast from the local weathermen on television just about every day, especially when it came to snow as it was a rare occurrence in the DFW Metroplex. As he grew older he took his interest level to the next step and became a weather watcher for the KXAS NBC affiliate in Dallas TX. He would report rain totals and anything else of value. Being a part of the weather community really excited him and steered Aaron into wanting to become one of the weathermen that he often watched on television.
