Aaron didn’t always have a reason to smile. “I made some bad choices in my life.” He says. Those bad choices led to an 11-year prison sentence. When Aaron was dismissed from prison, he had a hard time finding work until he walked into Bean’s Cafe. Aaron says “We all need a little help, I wanted to go to school and get a culinary degree and get my own place to live and walking into Bean’s Cafe made this possible for me. This place changed my life.” 

Today, Aaron is a positive role model for other clients and employees who are ready to lead a sober lifestyle. Aaron has been a part of the Bean’s team for over 11 years and is ready to share his smile and story with others, letting them know Bean’s is a place for change.
