Aaron Welch, a service-disabled veteran of the US Marine Corps (1995-1999), traded his combat boots for marketing savvy, diving into the internet marketing scene in 2001 and social media marketing in 2006. Aaron’s marketing journey began somewhat accidentally with a website reviewing Houston's nightlife and eateries in 2000. Although that first venture didn't take off, it sparked a relentless passion.

After relocating to Austin, Aaron quickly turned his passion into profit, boosting his first client’s business by an eye-popping 500% within two months. Since those early days, he’s launched numerous businesses with some hits and some misses, collaborated with behemoths like Cisco Systems, Google (Alphabet), Oracle, and CDW, and helped to grow a lengthy roster of SaaS and local service providers’ businesses through digital marketing advising and services.

As an adult student, Aaron earned his BA from Texas State University and an MBA from the University of Texas of the Permian Basin courtesy of the GI Bill and Hazelwood Act while working full-time.

Today, Aaron channels his formidable skills into championing Veteran-Owned Businesses and Veteran Service Organizations, enhancing their digital marketing, fundraising efforts, and adding automation and AI magic to streamline operations all while being a husband, father of two daughters who have inherited his sarcasm, being an avid traveler, sports fanatic, and terrible golfer.
