He is affiliated with KAPPA DELTA PI and the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) and has had held memberships in the Informing Science Institute, American Educational Research Association, Organizational Development Network, and Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD).  One area of interest in Aaron’s work in the areas of the professional societies says a great deal about him — bricolage. A portmanteau word, bricolage has specific implications in culture, in education and in information systems, as well as in art and biology. In cultural studies bricolage is used to mean the processes by which people acquire objects from across social divisions to create new cultural identities. In art, bricolage is a technique where works are constructed from various materials available or on hand. Perhaps most tellingly, in education the word bricolage designates a way to learn and solve problems by trying, testing, playing around.
 
Aaron enjoys landscape photography, watercolor painting, reading, writing poetry and gardening with his wife.
