Bio

Aaron brings more than 25 years of experience in finance and IT, including 17 years with DRMS. A Certified Public Accountant, he earned his B.S. in Accounting from the University of Kentucky and recently completed a certification in Applied Generative AI through Purdue/Simplilearn. Raised on a small tobacco and beef cattle farm in Kentucky, Aaron blends practical agricultural roots with professional financial expertise.

As CFO, Aaron oversees accounting, purchasing, HR, and risk management while also guiding finance technology and systems that support DRMS and CAS. He values DRMS’s purpose-driven mission and its commitment to agriculture, producers, and service affiliates.

Outside of work, Aaron enjoys rebuilding BBQ smokers and grills, slowly turning his backyard into a cookout playground. Visitors — especially his wife — often ask if he has enough, but he’s not letting any go.
