Director

Aaron is an Assistant Professor at Utah Valley University, and a Clinical Educator for Baxter/Hill-Rom. Aaron has a Masters degree in education and a Bachelors degree in respiratory care. Aaron has worked in several hospitals on the Wasatch Front including Timpanogos RegionalMedical Center, St. Mark’s Hospital, Park City Hospital, and Heber Valley Hospital. Aaron is a passionate educator and loves teaching and working with respiratory students at Utah Valley University. Aaron loves the Utah outdoors and is an avid backcountry snowboarder, mountain biker, trail runner, and climber.

I grew up in Cottonwood Heights and went to Brighton High School. I graduated from Salt Lake Community college with a focus on business. A few years after getting married, we moved to Arizona so I could go to school for x-ray, but the waiting list was over two years long. Because of this long wait they asked me if I had considered respiratory therapy. Having spent most of my childhood in hospitals for Asthma, and seeing the impact a therapist made on me when I was 12 to avoid a bronchoscopy, I went into the field. After graduating from Apollo College, I went to work with my first respiratory job in Scottsdale Arizona. While working, I finished off my bachelor’s degree at Ottawa University in healthcare administration. I have worked for HonorHealth, Banner Health, Mountain Star, and I currently work at South Davis Community hospital as a clinical educator. I find this field interesting and challenging. The things that drive me vary from working with premature babies, weaning patients, learning new methods of therapy, modifying charting to meet the needs of the hospital, and teaching others.
