A Family in Recovery
Aaron is an amazing industry leader who has established a Martial arts school, a sober home treatment center for teen boys, which was the most successful Adolescent Residential Treatment Center in the United States and had many prestigious recognitions. Unfortunately the center was affected by the devastating fires in Estes Park Colorado in 2021 and consequently had to close but that didn’t stop Aaron. Aaron refocused his work towards supporting parents, schools, and martial arts instructors grappling with the challenges of working with addicted, traumatized, and suicidal children.
In the year 2000, Aaron established a small martial arts school in Boulder, Colorado, which quickly gained attention from counselors and parents seeking innovative solutions for their children. In response to the growing demand, Aaron and his wife expanded their offerings to include afterschool programs, weekend events, summer camps, and transformative teen Rites of Passage retreats. In 2009, they furthered their commitment by opening a Sober Home for teen boys, providing a safe and supportive environment for recovery. Over the course of the next decade, their endeavor evolved into the most successful Adolescent Residential Treatment Center in the United States, garnering prestigious accolades such as the "Top 100 Health Care Visionaries" award and "Top 50 Healthcare Company" recognition.
Tragically, the closure of the treatment center in 2021 was prompted by the devastating fires in Estes Park, Colorado. Undeterred by this setback, Aaron redirected his focus towards supporting parents, schools, and martial arts instructors grappling with the challenges of working with addicted, traumatized, and suicidal children. His profound insights and expertise led to the development of the highly acclaimed Parenting Master Class, "Beyond Risk and Back," which received the prestigious Telly award for Education in 2021.
Additionally, Aaron's groundbreaking project, "Safe-Dojo," earned him induction into the Martial Arts Hall of Fame in 2022, further solidifying his status as an industry leader.
