Aaron Sparks

I am a Navy brat originally from Washington. I spent a good portion of my developmental years in Virginia, which is where I graduated high school. I worked 10+ years in the restaurant industry before joining the Navy and winding up back here in Washington. I separated from the Navy in 2019 and attended LW Tech, where I earned an AAS in Culinary Arts; however, I had to leave the restaurant industry very shortly after, due to an injury. After returning to school at LW Tech, I found new purpose and something to be passionate about when I started working as a work-study for Workforce Development.  I went on to work temporarily at the front desk in Advising (aka Student Development) before landing the job as Veteran Services Coordinator. I have personal experience using many of the funding programs available to Veterans as well as my GI Bill. I look forward to working with the Students, Faculty, and Staff and honoring our status as one of the best Veteran-friendly schools in our state. Outside of work, I love gaming and I am a pc enthusiast. My loving husband and I own some jet skis, and like to spend time on the water in the summers and go camping. And, I have two dogs that I absolutely adore. Hooyah, Navy! (Go Navy, Beat Army!).
