Full resume
In his free time Aiden goes on runs, rock climbs, and camps with his family. He is also a big fan of LEGO, always building something weird and new. Aiden is a crazy cat person that loves spending time with his two adorable feline friends. His favorite travel destination, the Hawaiin island Lanai, is home to a cat sanctuary that has over 600 wild cats in residence that were caught on the island, many of which are very friendly to all visitors and love attention (it is Aiden’s paradise). Aiden is thrilled to be on a path toward Broadway or even the silver screen with his army of cats in tow.
