About Aaron:

Aaron is strong. I mean really strong. He does a reverse 2 1/2 pike on 1-meter easier than most divers on 3-meter when they do it in tuck, and he is one of the few divers in the world doing a reverse 3 1/2 in pike on 3-meter. This strength led him to a stellar college career at Alabama and now that he has graduated he may concentrate on diving just to see if he can get to London in 2012 for the Olympics .... as a participant!
