Aaron lives in Laramie Wyoming with his wife Stacy and 4 children.  Aaron came to faith in Christ in high school through the influence of a local pastor who served as a volunteer football coach for his team. Upon graduating high school, ended up accepting a scholarship to play football and study engineering at the University of Wyoming where he became actively involved with the FCA ministry. Aaron joined as part time staff with FCA as a campus associate in 2001 and joined the Wyoming staff as a full time Campus and Area Representative with FCA after graduating in 2002.

In 1994, Josh confessed Christ as Lord of his life at a youth camp. However, it wasn’t until his years serving in the US Marines Corps that Josh really began to live for the Lord. After coming back from combat in Iraq he knew that God had been preparing and equipping him for a life of service to young men and women. In November 2017, Josh committed to come on staff and serve with FCA Utah.  He believes his experiences as a leader in sports, the Marine Corps, teaching, youth ministry, coaching, and being an Athletic Director have all been used to open his eyes to the needs within the athletic community and to equip him to lead the charge in the Northern Utah area! He has seen numerous students/athletes and coaches come to know the Lord and has played an intricate part in discipling many of them.

Ron was first introduced to FCA as an athlete and graduate of Winona State University, MN. He has served in various FCA volunteer roles through the years, including a camp huddle leader while in college and chairman of the Utah FCA state board. He helped bring FCA to Utah in 2012, and in 2022, Ron was presented with FCA's Branch Rickey Service Award. It was on the walk across Utah in June 2023, that Ron gained clarity on God calling him to full-time ministry with FCA, which led him to step aside from college athletics administration after 37 years.  He and his wife, Susie, moved from northern to southern Utah, where he serves as FCA's Central & Southern Utah Director.
