Operations Manager
Estimator
Aaron, a native to the Greater Portland area, became Ward Water’s treatment specialist and Estimator more than 13 years ago. Prior to joining the Ward Water team Aaron was an estimator in the home remodeling industry for over 9 years. One of Aaron’s earliest managers and mentors once gave him an invaluable piece of advice that he has never forgotten: “Always do your absolute best to put yourself in the shoes of the person in front of you…how would you want to be treated if this person was in your home, meeting with you and your family, asking for your direction and advice?” That advice and most invaluable perspective definitely stuck with Aaron. To this day it’s the foundation Aaron relies on for all of our relationships with Ward Water customers.
