Aron Jones is the Co-founder of Big Dog Construction in Grand Manan, New Brunswick, Canada.

He started his career in the military which led him to become a construction technician and then ultimately a builder once his service ended. In Canada it is common to enter the trades through an organize apprenticeship program call Red Seal and although Aron was already building, he received his carpentry Red Seal in 2002.  His experience with the Red Seal apprenticeship program instilled in Aron a desire to teach and be a mentor himself, which he now is also bringing his true passion for building science too.  His desire to both teach, and give back is making the industry better and may be best exemplified through his co-founding of International Flashing Awareness Day in 2021 with his friend Mike Guertin. This annual event on Instagram is used to demonstrate why flashing is important to a building and what happens when it is not installed or used properly.
