Aaron Johnson likes pinball machines, shortbread cookies, graphic novels, and skateboard competitions. However, Aaron is most likely to found at a poetry slam or rock show, smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee.

As a young teen, he worked at Arby's. It was here that he saw a lefthander chop off his thumb in a roast beef slicer. Being a lefty too, Aaron was permanently scarred for life and began writing and performing poetry.

Aaron has performed in theatres, bars, poetry slams, high schools, universities, art galleries, comic book stores, street corners, book stores, living rooms, and in 40 states, in just the past three years.
