AARON WOODS: EXTENDING A HAND TO HELP OTHERS
Aaron grew up in a working family on the south side of Chicago. A community organization helped him attend a tech-oriented high school. That training and service in the U.S. Army prepared him for a successful career – including induction to the national Tech Hall of Fame. Since retiring, he’s dedicated his life to uplifting others.
