He is the current American record holder for the 60 meter and 100 meter in the Division 40-44. He started coaching other athletes part-time between his professional track and field seasons before finally opening Gamespeed 17 years ago at the urging of his athletes.</span> </b> <p> <span class="style16">Aaron&#8217;s experience in the trenches as an athlete, competitor, coach and trainer started long before performance training became an industry.

Aaron was the first trainer in California to develop and implement curriculum for a Speed and Power training course at the community college level in 1995.</span> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" class="style2"></td> <td align="left" valign="top" class="style6"> <p> <span lang="EN">During his career, Aaron has developed a reputation as an exceptional athlete, published writer, speaker and technician in the field of speed development and athletic performance.
