AARON HICKS
I’M AN OZARKS NATIVE AND APPRECIATE THE SLOW, LAID-BACK WAY OF LIFE HERE, BUT STRIVE TO BRING A MODERN, AVANT-GARDE APPROACH TO YOUR PORTRAITS.
I HAVE TRAVELED AND PHOTOGRAPHED ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA FROM FLORIDA TO ALASKA, WHERE I LIVED IN THE OTHERWORLDLY MATANUSKA-SUSITNA VALLEY AFTER GRADUATING WITH HONORS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL ARKANSAS WITH A BACHELOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION DEGREE IN INNOVATION & ENTREPRENEURSHIP. MORE RECENTLY, I HAVE MADE THE OZARKS MY HOME BASE AND HAVE WORKED FOR MANY YEARS IN SUPPLY CHAIN AS WELL AS OBTAINED A MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION WITH A SPECIALIZATION IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT.
IN WHAT SPARE TIME I FIND, I EXPLORE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. I’M AN AVID OUTDOORSMAN AND HIKER—THE BUFFALO NATIONAL RIVER AND OZARK NATIONAL FOREST ARE MY FAVORITE WEEKEND GETAWAYS, AND I TRAVEL TO THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS ANY CHANCE I GET. BEFORE MY BUSINESS EDUCATION, I STUDIED DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE, AND AS YOU SEE, LOVE USING INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS AS WELL AS NATURAL LANDSCAPES TO ELEVATE MY WORK.
