Washington, DC in the early 1970's. With his parents' encouragement, he and his brothers tarried

together at home and received the gift of the Holy Ghost. He was the Superintendent of Sunday School

and an ordained Deacon who taught the Word of God for many years in a way that resonated with the

audience with his wife Angela at his side. Aaron also ministered through music. He played lead guitar
